The First Edition of Investments by Cleary and Jones was highly regarded as being student-friendly, accessible, and focused on the real-world of investments. The Second Edition continues this by adding more real-world material, strengthening its focus on the CFA, expanding the complexity of the problem material, and incorporating a new design. Investments by Cleary & Jones provides a balanced approach to the discipline – it provides all of the necessary theoretical coverage to complete the course while providing students with a strong sense of what actually happens "on the street." Students do not get lost in unnecessary and long theoretical discussions, and are easily able to see how concepts are used in the investments world.
