      Description of Investments

      The subject matter for this edition of Investments has evolved considerably since 1978 when the first edition was published. For example, in the last several years international investing has expanded rapidly, securities such as swaps and mortgage derivatives have become increasingly popular, and investors have placed much more emphasis on investment styles.

      The task of the authors has been to keep Investments fresh and stimulating and to continue the tradition of this text to offer students and instructors the most thorough and most current survey of the investment environment.

      New to this edition:

      - New chapter on efficient markets

      - Statistical concepts appendix added to Chapter 6 - the portfolio selection problem

      - Additional institutional issues facing large institutional investors such as pension funds and mutual funds

      - Coverage of financial analysis expanded and includes a real-life corporate example

      - Additional end-of-day chapter problems and CFA examination questions

      - Totally updated coverage of latest developments in investments
