The core concepts and tools readers need to make informed investment decisions

Fundamentals of Investing  helps individuals make informed investment decisions by providing a solid foundation of core concepts and tools.

The authors integrate a consistent framework based on learning goals to keep readers focused in each chapter. Readers leave with the necessary information for developing, implementing, and monitoring a successful investment program.

The 13th Edition uses a conversational tone to make the foreign language, concepts, and strategies of investing accessible to readers.
