ISE Essentials of Investments 12th Edition Zvi Bodie 9781265450090

• This undergraduate text continues to evolve in the financial markets and is organized around one basic theme—that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that you should expect to find few obvious bargains in these markets. • The Bodie author team places great emphasis on asset allocation while presenting the practical applications of investment theory. • This text links theory to practice with an approach consistent with that of the CFA Institute.
