To help understand how to manage one's money to derive the most from what you earn, to develop a way of analyzing and thinking about investments, and to pass on the excitement about investing, are the goals the authors have set for this edition. Global investing information, descriptive and theoretical material, practitioner investment techniques, and drawing from knowledge and readings for those preparing for the CFA exams, are highlights of this edition. Reilly and Norton have thoroughly revised, reorganized, and updated material, and cover the major topics logically and concisely, providing a strong base for those who want to do advanced work in investment analysis and valuation.

The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to manage your money to derive the maximum benefit from what you 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 leaves readers with the mindset on investments to serve them well. The material is intended to be rigorous and empirical yet not overly quantitative. We continue with unparalleled international coverage, newly rewritten and reorganized derivatives material to be more intuitive and clearer, three additional chapters on derivatives pricing for those who want more detail, rewritten material on multifactor models of risk and return, and new CFA problems for more practice on computations concerning investment decisions. To manage money and investments, one needs to learn about investment alternatives and develop a way of analyzing and thinking about investments that will be of benefit and allow a foundation as new tools and investment opportunities become available. Reilly/Brown provide 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.
