This applications-oriented text transitions from theory to practice in a clear, straightforward manner. An ideal text for schools that do not have a "pure" portfolio course, it accomplishes the objectives of both a traditional investments course and a portfolio theory course.

Numerous references and questions from the CFA exam are also included.
