 Understanding Investments

This revised and fully expanded edition of Understanding Investments continues to incorporate the
elements of traditional textbooks on investments, but goes further in that the material is presented
from an intuitive, practical point of view, and the supplementary material included in each chapter
lends itself to both class discussion and further reading by students. It provides the essential tools
to navigate complex, global financial markets and instruments including relevant (and classic)
academic research and market perspectives.
The author has developed a number of key innovative features. One unique feature is its
economic angle, whereby each chapter includes a section dedicated to the economic analysis of that
chapter’s material. Additionally, all chapters contain sections on strategies that investors can apply
in specific situations and the pros and cons of each are also discussed. The book provides further
clarification of some of the concepts discussed in the previous edition, thereby offering a more
detailed analysis and discussion, with more real-world examples. The author has added new,
shorter text boxes, labeled “Market Flash” to highlight the use of, or changes in current practices
in the field; updates on strategies as applied by professionals; provision of useful information for
an investor; updates on regulations; and anything else that might be relevant in discussing and
applying a concept. This second edition also includes new sections on core issues in the field of
investments, such as alternative investments, disruptive technologies, and future trends in
investment management.
This textbook is intended for undergraduate students majoring or minoring in finance and also
for students in economics and related disciplines who wish to take an elective course in finance or
investments.
