Dynamic Asset Allocation: Modern Portfolio Theory Updated for the Smart Investor - Hardcover

by James Picerno (Author)

Today's modern portfolio theory is not your father's MPT. It has undergone many changes in the past fifty years. Indeed, a new understanding of MPT has emerged, one that has a significant impact on managing asset allocation--especially in today's turbulent markets. Dynamic Asset Allocation interprets and integrates the developments in modern portfolio theory: from the efficient-market hypothesis and indexing of decades past to strategies for building winning portfolios today. The book is filled with practical, hands-on advice for investors, including guidance on approaching investment as a risk-management task.
