Mayo’s INVESTMENTS: AN INTRODUCTION, 12th Edition, introduces students to today’s most important investment topics from the perspective of an individual financial planner. Students are introduced to the process of investing and the many alternatives available for the construction of a portfolio and through this, students learn about managing their assets (being active portfolio managers) or to decide to let others manage their portfolios (i.e., being passive investors). This edition provides an inviting, comprehensive approach to investments--from the fundamentals students need to master the investing section on the CFP® exam to more advanced topics.
