This hands-on textbook for student managed investment funds (SMIFs) presents the applied material that textbooks on portfolios and investments always overlook.  Its focus on "how-to" questions summarizes the disciplines and skills necessary for trading.  Covering equities, hedge funds and derivatives, and fixed income, it captures the breadth and the detail necessary for developing and executing trading strategies.  Developed specifically for SMIF courses, the book features calculations, examples, and software that help students move from talking about markets to taking positions in them.

Audience
Primary audience: undergraduates and graduate (MBA) students taking classes associated with student managed investment funds. Secondary audience: MBA students studying asset management and portfolio management.
