## Description

Active Portfolio Management (PB) (McGraw-Hill Library of Investment and Finance) eBook : Grinold, Richard C., Kahn, Ronald N.: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: I think I've read this cover-to-cover half a dozen times ... - I think I've read this cover-to-cover half a dozen times by now. If you're thinking about getting this, you probably should have already done so.
Review: Self-contained and broad-explanatory: A new Benchmark! - Those investors and financial analysts familiarized with BARRA results will find in this book an extended explanation about the assumptions, lines of thought, conclusions and possible applications over a wide range of concepts. In our profession it is usual to find papers applying concepts without offering a previous clear and non-ambiguous mathematical definition. This book covers such a fault of precision in our field, introducing gradually the outstanding concepts in literature and showing the multiple mutual relations. Main virtues are: Self-contained and broad-explanatory of the main topics regarding Active Asset Management. A must in order to introduce advanced portfolio analysis. Just a couple of critics (for some people they might also be additional virtues): i) Most of results are obtained using basic matricial algebra and linear programming, so more powerful mathematical tools would lead to more general and forward-looking results (surprisingly, no stochastic calculus in sight, and lack of serious time series treatment!). ii) Some people reproducing step by step every analytical result will discover that, despite the final result is basically correct, some interim results might be incorrect (please contact me for several examples and a list of errata). Specially if you are interested in using the results and concepts, and not so much in the algebraic derivation, this is your new optimal Benchmark.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book
*by R***N on 10 December 2012*

Active Portfolio Management is a very good book for who wants to study active management. It's quite straight forward but if you never heard about portfolio management or hedge funds be ready to spend a lot of time googleing. Unless you really want to go deep into formulas you won't need a solid math base, but I've found having it quite useful.
