Purchase options and add-ons

The market-leading undergraduate investments textbook, Essentials of Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus, continues to evolve along with the changes in the financial markets yet remains organized around one basic theme―that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that you should expect to find few obvious bargains in these markets. 

This text places great emphasis on asset allocation while presenting the practical applications of investment theory. The text also focuses on investment analysis, which allows us to present the practical applications of investment theory and convey practical value insights.  A collection of Excel spreadsheets is provided to give you the tools to explore concepts more deeply.

In their efforts to link theory to practice, the author team also makes their approach consistent with that of the CFA Institute. Included are questions from previous CFA exams in our end-of-chapter problems and CFA-style questions derived from the Kaplan-Schweser CFA preparation courses.

Zvi Bodie (born April 27, 1943) is an independent educator, writer, speaker, and consultant on finance and the financial system. He is also Professor Emeritus at Boston University where he taught from 1972 to 2013. He has published widely on pension finance and investment strategy in leading professional journals. Bodie is best known for applying modern financial theory to lifecycle saving and investing. He has popularized the idea of hedging against inflation using series I savings bonds, TIPS, and CPI-linked annuities in defined contribution pension and saving plans. He also has advocated strategies that guarantee a minimum retirement life-long income regardless of the performance of the stock market. He has published books and papers in academic journals and co-authored two textbooks and two books for the mass market. During his long academic career starting in 1970 he directed major research projects for the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Pension Research Council. With the support of the CFA Institute Research Foundation, he organized a series of three conferences on the future of lifecycle saving and investing (2006, 2008, 2010), and he edited the resultant conference volumes. Together with Nobel Laureate Robert C. Merton, he has developed a framework for the analysis of financial system design that they call Functional and Structural Finance. FSF is a synthesis of neoclassical, transaction cost, and behavioral theories of finance. It rests on the view that there are six basic functions that a financial system performs and that change very slowly over time and across borders. The institutions that perform these functions change much more quickly and differ across borders.

Bodie's books include Foundations of Pension Finance, Pensions in the U.S. Economy, Issues in Pension Economics, and Financial Aspects of the U.S. Pension System. is textbook, Investments, coauthored with Alex Kane and Alan Marcus is used in all the major business schools around the globe. It has been translated into 10 languages in addition to English. He has also co-authored an introductory textbook Financial Economics with Nobel Laureate in Economics, Robert C. Merton. It has been translated into 9 languages.

He has served on the finance faculty at the Harvard Business School (1992-1994) and MIT Sloan School of Management (2008-9). In 2007 the Retirement Income Industry Association gave Bodie their Lifetime Achievement Award for applied research.[3] And in 2019, the Plan Sponsors Council of America selected him for their lifetime achievement award.

He holds a Ph.D in economics (1975) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a M.A. in Economics (1970) from the Hebrew University, and a B.A. with Honors in Philosophy (1965) from Brooklyn College.

    Reviewed in the United States on 3 May 2022
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I was assigned this textbook as part of a CFP certification course at Berkeley. I found it to be very comprehensive in its coverage. I was surprised at the number of mistakes (several examples list incorrect answers) and at how the authors often used only a formula to explain a concept, rather than prose followed by a formula. If you have a strong grasp of calculus this will not bother you, but it's been a few decades since I had seen some of these concepts, so I was slightly miffed. All in all, this book is worthwhile. Hopefully they will correct the errors in subsequent printings.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written Textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 June 2024
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is probably one of the worst textbooks I’ve ever read. I bought this textbook for my investment management course and after getting about halfway through the book I can say that the writing is insanely hard to follow. Spelling out math equations in sentences instead of showing the math, referencing formulas from 10 pages ago, etc. I understand the material is dense but even my professor has a hard time reading through this book.
