【簡介】 "The market-leading undergraduate investments textbook, Essentials of Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus, continually adapts to the dynamic shifts in financial markets while maintaining a core theme – that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning you shouldn't expect to find obvious bargains in these markets. This text places significant emphasis on asset allocation, seamlessly integrating practical applications of investment theory. Focus on investment analysis allows the authors to present the practical applications of investment theory and convey practical value insights. A collection of Excel spreadsheets is provided to give you the tools to explore concepts more deeply. In their commitment to bridging theory with practice, the author team aligns their approach with that of the CFA Institute. The inclusion of questions from previous CFA exams in the end-of-chapter problems, along with CFA-style questions derived from Kaplan-Schweser CFA preparation courses, link theoretical foundations to real-world scenarios. The addition of Integrated Excel assignments in the Connect platform rounds out the student success resources that include auto-graded problems, Tableau Dashboard Activities, and Smartbook, an adaptive reading and practice tool for students." 【目錄】 "PART I: ELEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Ch 1 Investments Background and Issues Ch 2 Asset Classes and Financial Instruments Ch 3 How Securities Trade Ch 4 Mutual Funds and Other Investment Companies PART II: PORTFOLIO THEORY Ch 5 Risk, Return, and the Historical Record Ch 6 Efficient Diversification Ch 7 Capital Asset Pricing and Arbitrage Pricing Theory Ch 8 The Efficient Market Hypothesis Ch9 Behavioral Finance and Technical Analysis PART III: DEBT SECURITIES Ch10 Bond Prices and Yields Ch11 Managing Bond Portfolios PART IV: SECURITY ANALYSIS Ch12 Macroeconomic and Industry Analysis Ch13 Equity Valuation Ch14 Financial Statement Analysis PART V: DERIVATIVE MARKETS Ch15 Options Markets Ch16 Option Valuation Ch17 Futures Markets and Risk Management PART VI: ACTIVE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT Ch18 Evaluating Investment Performance Ch19 International Diversification Ch20 Alternative Assets Ch21 Taxes, Inflation, and Financial Planning Ch22 Investors and the Investment Process"
