Not All Books Are Created Equal,
By
This review is from: International Investments and Research Navigator Package (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
When I was in college, I appreciated teachers who were especially effective at teaching the subject matter. They'd take a concept, build on the fundamentals and provide practical applications. In plain language, easy to understand. To this day, I value what they taught me.
Other teachers weren't as effective and enduring their courses was an exercise in tolerance. I found myself saying "WHAT??" much more than "Oh. I get it now". Therein lies the difference. This book, unfortunately, falls into the second camp. I don't like to be critical, but when authors fail to teach, it's best to seek other sources. If you are a CFA candidate, I encourage you to invest in Schweser, Stalla or Allen Resources material instead. You'll come away with a much better understanding of foreign exchange fundamentals, international equity and debt investments, and currency risk management. Anybody want to buy a used book cheap?

extraordinarily pedagogic on tough topic,
By nai fu chen "maroc" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Investments and Research Navigator Package (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I am a CFA candidate (also holds MBA). Thi is a required book and it is wonderfully written for practicioners but with a strong conceptual and technical framework. You learn a lot on global finance. The teaching concept with LOS, well defined concepts and tools,a wealth of problems (with solution) with direct relevance to both theory and practice is a great success. Plus Prof Solnik is regarded as a star in research but also among major global asset managers and pension funds. Helped a lot for my CFA exam (far superior to prep schools) and also my current job in asset management. I will not resale it!
