A Wonderful Resource - Excellent for CFA Studies,
By
This review is from: Fundamentals of Financial Management (Hardcover)
Brigham & Young's book is prescribed for the CFA curriculum. I find Fundamentals of Financial Management to be excellent in all respects. Twenty years ago, I studied earlier editions of Fundamentals and Intermediate Financial Management while earning my MBA. I was impressed then and I am even more impressed with the authors efforts now.The table of contents organizes topical material in a progressive and logical manner. Chapters exploring financial management and markets, cost of capital, capital budgeting, cash flow estimation and risk analysis, capital structure and leverage, and divident policy provide readers with a solid foundation of these concepts. I am very impressed with the authors continued commitment to accuracy. (The authors offer a $10 reward to the first person who discovers material errors.) What a pleasure it is to read chapters and illustrative examples knowing that there aren't many miscalculations or sloppy mistakes. Colorful graphic presentations and chapter-end review questions make this book wonderful to read. The CD-ROM has thus far provided me helpful chapter review quizzes which are "graded" on the spot, and the book provides a myriad of website references for further study and inquiry. Truly a 5 star book! I highly recommend this to any investment professional or serious student of finance.

I don't understand why not a review for this book here...,
By
This review is from: Fundamentals of Financial Management (Hardcover)
Now I am working for a financing related field where I am handling "capital budgeting", "corporate or project valuation" and "project finance". When I went to college, the Brighamwas the famous and reputable textbook but I didn't know why. But while working in the real world, I have recognized that the book is very very helpful for reconfirming my finance knowledge as well as understanding any areas I didn't grasp in the past. For beginners, I would like to strongly recommend "abridged edition" which is very brief but covering almost all significant financial topics, NEVERTHELESS, it is very understandable. I think it's the first MUST-READ for finance-major students.
