Global Investments Pearson New International Edition

Global Investments, the Sixth Edition of the previously titled International Investments, provides accessible coverage of international capital markets using numerous examples to illustrate the applications of concepts and theories. The new title reflects the current understanding that the distinction between domestic and international is no longer relevant and that asset management is global. This book is ideal for CFA(R) (Chartered Financial Analyst) candidates, advanced finance undergraduates, and MBA students, and it has been selected by the CFA Institute as part of the curriculum to deliver the Candidate Body of Knowledge for the CFA. The text is also widely used by professionals working in the investments area, as the level is accessible to students and portfolio managers without recent training in portfolio theory.Chapter 1 Currency Exchange Rates Chapter 2 Foreign Exchange Parity Relations Chapter 3 Foreign Exchange Determination and Forecasting Chapter 4 International Asset Pricing Chapter 5 Equity: Markets and Instruments Chapter 6 Equity: Concepts and Techniques Chapter 7 Global Bond Investing Chapter 8 The Case for International Diversification Chapter 9 Derivatives Chapter 10 Currency Risk Management Chapter 11 Global Performance Evaluation Chapter 12 Structuring the Global Investment Process
