This text combines a thorough introduction to United States financial institutions and a substantial international focus. Equally suitable for a first or second course in finance (or courses in money and banking), the book breaks from the non-analytic tradition of most texts and takes an analytic approach in its coverage of such topics as duration, equity valuation, cash management, and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The book also offers comprehensive coverage of all major financial institutions comprising the financial system. The text provides separate chapters on finance companies, insurance companies, pension funds, financial futures and options, and the swap market, topics frequently omitted or treated lightly in other texts.
