For undergraduate courses in investments.

Excel Modeling in the Fundamentals of Investments is a supplemental book and CD. It teaches students how to build financial models with step-by-step instructions in Excel. It can accompany any undergraduate investments textbook, including textbooks by Alexander, Bodie, Corrando, and Reilly.

• NEW - Updated coverage—Adds Annual Payments model to the Bond Pricing chapter, adds saving as a percentage of wealth to the Lifetime Financial Planning chapter, updates the yield curve database, updates the tax rates, and updates the dates in all examples.

  • Keeps text up-to-date.

• Instructions for building financial models, not templates.

  • Students really learn finance by building financial models themselves (active learning), rather than using canned templates which are “black boxes” (passive learning).

• Every chapter has end-of-chapter problems.

  • Provides students with the opportunity to practice what they have learned.

• Progression from simple examples to practical, real-world applications—Including Portfolio Optimization that uses real data on 20 stocks to calculate the efficient frontier, the tangent line, the weights of the tangent portfolio, and then graph everything; US Yield Curve Dynamics shows you a "movie" of 30 years of monthly zero-coupon, yield curves highlighting the dynamics of the US yield curve history; Implied Volatilities are calculated from real call and put prices using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model and Excel's Solver. Then the “smile” (or “scowl”) pattern of implied volatilities is graphed.

  • Provides real-world applications that students will be excited about.

• Can accompany any popular undergraduate investments textbook because the CD provides alternative notation versions—The printed book matches the notation of the Bodie book (Essentials of Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus). The CD contains PDF files with alternative chapters that match the notation of other popular undergraduate investments books, including:

  • Fundamentals of Investments by Alexander, Sharpe, and Bailey

  • Fundamentals of Investments by Corrado and Jordan

  • Investments by Reilly and Norton.

• Updated coverage—Adds Annual Payments model to the Bond Pricing chapter, adds saving as a percentage of wealth to the Lifetime Financial Planning chapter, updates the yield curve database, updates the tax rates, and updates the dates in all examples.

  • Keeps text up-to-date.
