The return should compensate the investor for the time during which the funds are committed; the expected rate of inflation and the uncertainty of the anticipated future financial benefits from the investment.

By means of self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter; it prepares undergraduates for postgraduate study and is written with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA�®) Level I learning outcomes in mind.
