It blends practical and theoreticalcoverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and a clear writingstyle. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient,meaning that most securities are priced appropriately given their riskand return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocationand offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures,options, and other derivative security markets than most investmenttexts. It is also the only graduate Investments text to offer an onlinehomework management system, McGraw-Hill’s Connect Finance.ContentsPart I Introduction1 The Investment Environment2 Asset Classes and Financial Instruments3 How Securities are Traded4 Mutual Funds and Other Investment CompaniesPart II Portfolio Theory and Practice5 Introduction to Risk, Return, and the Historical Record6 Risk Aversion and Capital Allocation to Risky Assets7 Optimal Risky Portfolios8 Index ModelsPart III Equilibrium in Capital Markets9 The Capital Asset Pricing Model10 Arbitrage Pricing Theory and Multifactor Models of Risk and Return11 The Efficient Market Hypothesis12 Behavioral Finance and Technical Analysis13 Empirical Evidence on Security ReturnsPart IV Fixed-Income Securities14 Bond Prices and Yields15 The Term Structure of Interest Rates16 Managing Bond PortfoliosPart V Security Analysis17 Macroeconomic and Industry Analysis18 Equity Valuation Models19 Financial Statement AnalysisPart VI Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives20 Options Markets: Introduction21 Option Valuation22 Futures Markets23 Futures, Swaps, and Risk ManagementPart VII Applied Portfolio Management24 Portfolio Performance Evaluation25 International Diversification26 Hedge Funds27 The Theory of Active Portfolio Management28 Investment Policy and the Framework of the CFA InstituteReferences to CFA ProblemsGlossaryName IndexSubject IndexInternational editionCASE STUDIES IN FINANCE6th EditionBy Robert F Bruner, University of VA-Charlottesville2010 (January 2009) / 816 pagesISBN: 9780073382456ISBN: 9780071267526 [IE]www.mhhe.com/bruner6eCase Studies in Finance, 6e links managerial decisions to capitalmarkets and the expectations of investors.
