Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management

by Frank K. Reilly, Keith C. Brown

The purpose of this text is to help the student learn how to manage their money to derive the maximum benefit from what they earn. Mixing investment instruments and capital markets with the theoretical detail on evaluating investments and opportunities to satisfy risk-return objectives along with how investment practice and theory is influenced by globalization. The material is intended to be rigorous and empirical yet not overly quantitative. Reilly/Brown provides the best foundation, used extensively by professionals, organizations, and schools across the country. A great source for those with both a theoretical and practical need for investment expertise.

This was my "book for work" for April. In retrospect, picking an 1100+ page textbook might not have been the best idea, but as textbooks go, this one was excellent. I feel like I've received a pretty good overview of the financial world. The last 5-6 chapters (the material on derivatives) was heavy going, but if I need it, I know where to find it. Lots and lots of equations and worked examples (I ***hate*** math/stats/finance books with equations but no examples). All in all, I was very impressed with this book.

I haven't read too many textbooks on portfolio management so this is, in no way, a relative rating. I thought the book was useful and it was an easy read. Very relevant.

One of the best book on investment analysis I have come across

[Harun Dagli]

If you interested in portfolio management and learn the techniques on investment analysis, this is one of the best books in the market.
It is big but packs full of techniques, explanation and usage areas. If you are in project management or asset management roles and once you get your head around, you will want to keep this book as your regular reference book.

Solid textbook for intermediate portfolio and management theories and applications. Only issue is the book is not well written.

Good one!

One of the source materials for studying for the CFA exam. This was the best books of all the source textbooks and I found myself referring back to it time and time again throughout my professional career.
