Part I: The Basics of Finance

Part I of the book covers the basics of finance, including the time value of money, risk and return, and portfolio theory. The time value of money is the concept that money today is worth more than money in the future due to the potential for earning interest. Risk and return are two important concepts in finance. Risk is the possibility of losing money on an investment, while return is the potential profit from an investment. Portfolio theory is the study of how to combine different investments to achieve a desired level of risk and return.

Part II: The Major Financial Markets

Part II of the book covers the major financial markets, including the equity market, the bond market, and the foreign exchange market. The equity market is the market for stocks, which represent ownership in companies. The bond market is the market for bonds, which are loans that companies and governments issue to raise money. The foreign exchange market is the market for currencies, which are used to trade goods and services between countries.

Part III: The Major Financial Institutions

Part III of the book covers the major financial institutions, including banks, insurance companies, and investment funds. Banks are financial institutions that accept deposits from customers and make loans to businesses and individuals. Insurance companies are financial institutions that provide protection against financial losses. Investment funds are financial institutions that pool money from investors and invest it in a variety of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.
