course book

[Zhiteng · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly enough for a course book on financial instruments and capital market. But a bit boring in the demonstration of knowledge, and probably you would need Investopedia as a complementary source since some descriptions are neither detailed nor intuitive enough.

[Nhung Dang · Rating 5 out of 5]

Academic focused. Simple. Good for self study or textbook.

[Edna Delantar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Capital Markets by Fabozzi is easy to understand for undergrad students. Contents are comprehensive enough to gain knowledge about capital market.

Good book

[Bastian Emil · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book as part of the syllabus in the course “Capital Markets in Practice”. The book gives a good introduction to many aspects of capital markets. However, due to its focus on US capital markets, you need additional material if you want to know more about capital markets in other countries.
