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 Plus 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.
