Investments 9th Edition by Zvi Bodie, Kane and Marcus


Investments 9th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane and Alan Marcus offer practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and a clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes.

The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts. It is also the only graduate Investments text to offer an online homework management system, McGraw-Hill’s Connect Finance.

Words from the Street boxed readings contain short articles from business periodicals that enliven, reinforce and apply the material within the context of the real-world. The authors continue to present material in a framework that is organized by a central core of consistent fundamental principles. As such, they have stripped away unnecessary mathematical and technical detail to concentrate on providing the intuition to guide students and practitioners in their professional lives.

This book devotes considerable attention to Modern Portfolio Theory, which focuses on the techniques and implications of efficient diversification for the proper measurement of risk and the risk-return relationship. It provides complete coverage of futures, options and other derivative security markets. These markets have become crucial and integral to the financial universe and are the major sources of innovation in that universe. Understanding these markets is extremely important to finance professionals as well as to the sophisticated individual investor.

To link theory with practice, the authors approach is consistent with that of the CFA Institute. End of chapter problem sets contain questions from past CFA exams (identified with an icon and now separated into their own section). The Appendix at the back of the book lists each CFA question in the text and the exam from which it was taken. Also, Chapter 3 includes excerpts from the "Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct" of the CFA Institute. Chapter 28, which discusses investors and the investment process, is modeled after the CFA Institutes framework.

End of chapter questions that require the use of Standard & Poor’s Educational Version of Market Insight. Access to this online resource is free with each new copy of the book. The site contains quantitative and qualitative data on over 1000 top companies; it is powered by S&P’s renowned COMPUSTAT® database.
