This software is designed to let you take a modern approach to managing your portfolio of stocks and mutual funds. You can read the supporting texts online by clicking on textbooks now. CAPM Tutor lets you combine important results from the three major periods of investment innovation that have taken place this century. These periods are:

1. 1930’s was marked by a focus on fundamental analysis and value investing. This was in response to stock values declining by 86% from September 1929 to June 1932. Books such as "Security Analysis" by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd (1934) and "The Theory of Investment Value" by John Williams 1938 reflected this new era.
2. 1970’s reflected an era of interest in applying the quantitative techniques pioneered by Harry Markowitz, the extension of Markowitz diversification to the Capital Asset Pricing Model by Sharpe and Lintner, later extensions to a dynamic version of CAPM, and finally an Arbitrage Pricing Theory approach to forecasting stock returns.
3. 1990’s reflected an increasing trend towards combining intrinsic and quantitative approaches to investment analysis, the use of derivative structures and the use of strategies that are designed to optimize against popular benchmarks.

CAPM Tutor is a unique investment tool that reflects these broad trends in investment analysis. You can learn to make better investment decisions by combining data, that is freely available on the web, with solid investment theory. 

As with the other Tutors CAPM Tutor lets you learn at your own pace from personal experience. It also comes with an online Applications Guide that has been classroom tested in different parts of the world. The Application’s Guide takes you through appropriate steps needed to solve various real world investment problems. In particular, you will learn how to solve these problems by using popular sites such as the Microsoft Investor Site, Morningstar, and Investorama.
