The market leading Essentials of Investments, 7/e by Bodie, Kane and Marcus presents the practical applications of investment theory to convey the insights of practical value. The authors have eliminated unnecessary mathematical detail and concentrate on the intuition and insights that will be useful to practitioners throughout their careers as new ideas and challenges emerge from the financial marketplace. Essentials maintains the theme of asset allocation (authors discuss asset pricing and trading then apply these theories to portfolio planning in real-world securities markets that are governed by risk/return relationships). The major objective in this revision is to maintain the current level in content and coverage, with greater coverage of corporate governance, behavioral finance, ethics, and to improve the text's accessibility by enhancing presentation, pedagogy, and design.
