The authors link theory and real world issues in their coverage of equity, bond and FX strategies including methods such as chartism, neural networks and chaos theory. Raising funds in the money markets and via equity and debt securities, as well as dividend and merger policy provide further practical illustrations of theoretical ideas. Futures, options and swaps and their use in speculation, hedging and arbitrage are also examined.  \u003cp\u003eThe authors include a vast array of pedagogy, including chapter objectives summaries; end of chapter exercises; numerous real-world examples and case vignettes; Excel spreadsheets providing simulations for the reader; a glossary of terms; clear, simple and consistent mathematical notation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Symbols and Abbreviations xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1: Financial Markets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Markets and Players 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Raising Finance 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Financial Instruments 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Trading Securities 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Investment Companies 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2: Valuation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Valuation Techniques 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Cost of Capital 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Valuing Firms 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3: Asset Returns and Portfolio Theory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Measuring Asset Returns 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Portfolio Theory 189\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 International Portfolio Diversification 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Single-Index Model 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 CAPM and APT 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 4: Equity Markets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Stock Valuation and the EMH 291\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Behavioural Finance and Anomalies 317\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Predicting Stock Returns 337\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17 Technical Trading Rules 353\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 5: Foreign Exchange Market\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18 Spot and Forward Markets 379\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 6: Fixed-Income Markets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19 Money Markets 417\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20 Bond Markets 439\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21 Term Structure of Interest Rates 465\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 22 Bond Market Strategies 481\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 7: Derivatives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 23 Derivative Securities 507\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 24 Futures Markets 533\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 25 Options Markets 559\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 26 Options Pricing 589\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 27 Energy and Weather Derivatives 623\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 8: Portfolio Management\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 28 Private Equity 645\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 29 Performance of Mutual Funds 655\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 30 Hedge Funds 675\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 31 Market Risk and Value at Risk 697\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 719\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInternet Sites 741\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 745\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 755\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003eKeith Cuthbertson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Finance at Cass Business School.
