The purpose of this text is to help the student learn how to manage their money to derive the maximum benefit from what they earn. Mixing investment instruments and capital markets with the theoretical detail on evaluating investments and opportunities to satisfy risk-return objectives along with how investment practice and theory is influenced by globalization. The material is intended to be rigorous and empirical yet not overly quantitative. Reilly/Brown provides the best foundation, used extensively by professionals, organizations, and schools across the country. A great source for those with both a theoretical and practical need for investment expertise.
School book which I never read
| Customer Rating: | | I hate when professors make you buy a book and then don't even reference it. |
The Investment Bible

Solid Book on Investment Analysis
| Customer Rating: | This is an excellent book on Investment Analysis and one of the best books recommended by the CFA Institute for its curriculum.
I commend the authors for providing a solid foundation (chapters 1-9 on the Investment Background and Theory) before moving on to the heart of this book, namely security analysis (stocks, bonds and derivatives).
This book succeeds in teaching material in a variety of ways. Here are some things I appreciated:
1) Chapters begin by providing readers with an overview
2) Terms and concepts are defined
3) Formulas are presented, followed by practical examples
4) Investments are presented in a global perspective
5) Authors help the readers work through the examples by providing calculations
6) "Real world" situations and break-out boxes are used frequently
7) Authors get you think by asking questions beforehand.
8) Excellent chapter end question sets, many with CFA focus
A hidden gem of this book is found with the extensive references to relevant website links. The authors advise you on where to look for additional topical information. A great "value added" feature of this book.
The authors have also written a solutions guide to the chapter end problem set which is tremendously helpful.
What a pleasure it is to read this book - it truly deserves a 5 star rating!! |
Bland
| Customer Rating: | I am enrolled in a masters level quantitative finance program and we use this text for an intro class. I found the portfolio management sections to be pretty good and the bonds and derivatives sections to be pretty weak. Furthermore, the important information in the book does not seem to clearly presented; you really have to dig through the text to get the relevant points. I guess all the important stuff is in the book, it's just hard to find. The book is big on theory and small on practical application. True, there are problems at the end of each chapter, but the chapters often don't provide clear enough explanation of the concepts to solve them adequately.
Overall, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't great either. |
