The contents of the second edition have been restructured and improved. Out-dated topics have been removed while other topics have been updated and expanded. New popular investments like equity-linked notes (ELNs) and hedge funds are covered. It also provides an in-depth discussion of the SFC's recent issuance of a consultation paper on the regulatory framework for addressing analyst conflicts and the ensuing controversy. The effect the Enron debacle and similar scandals have had on investors and their trust in accountants, analysts and regulators is also discussed. Corporate governance and sustainability and responsibility investment (SRI) are also examined.

Despite the above changes, this edition retains its combination approach hoping to interest and benefit both candidates sitting the 'Investments Paper' of the Institute's Associateship examination and practitioners in the securities industry.
