Most Helpful Customer Reviews   16 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the CFA Level 2 curriculum, 30 Mar 2002 By A Customer This review is from: Investment Valuation: University Edition: Tools and Techniques for Determining the Value of Any Asset (Paperback) This is an excellent book for Level 2 of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) curriculum. This book presents clearly and concisely various discounted cash flow (DDM, FCFF & FCFE) and relative valuation techniques (P/E, P/Sales, P/BV), with sound rationale on the most appropriate technique for each particular circumstance. Your efforts in attempting to understand this book will be well rewarded. The substance of this book covers a fairly significant chunk (20%) of the CFA Level 2 curriculum.

I've used the work on equity risk premiums in risky countries and on the WACC heavily. It is well written and easy to read (except, of course, the heavily technical detail, which requires some thought at times). I've had a quick flick through the stuff on calculating beta in the CAPM environment and wish I had this book when I was an investment banking junior. It covers common mistakes in estimating beta (some of which I made in the past) and provides an opinion on some commonly used methods. I thoroughly recommend this book. If you practice in finance and need to know the quantitative stuff this book is indespensible. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
