Fundamentals of Investments: Valuation and Management (pdf)

Fundamentals of Investments focuses on students as investment managers, giving them information to act on by placing theory and research in the proper context. The text offers a balanced, unified treatment of the four main types of financial investments―stocks, bonds, options, and futures. Topics are organized in a way that makes them easy to apply―whether to a portfolio simulation or to real life―and supported with hands-on activities. Then, resources within Connect help students solve financial problems and apply what they’ve learned. Jordan’s managerial perspective and superior pedagogy combine with a complete digital solution to help students achieve higher outcomes in the course.
