Portfolio Management: A Market-Class Guide To Investment Management [Hardcover]

Investing can seem simple, but there are an infinite number of ways to get to your goals and an infinite number of ways to fail.

To sharpen your investment skills, this book guides you through the key aspects of the fund management profession, working from a macro-industry overview to the micro details of security-valuation techniques, combining the benefits of academic experience with decades of industry experience.

This is something also found in the complementary online Market-Class investment simulator, where you can manage a $100m fund in a dynamic market and your decisions and those of fellow fund managers 'make the market'.

A smart investor doesn't rely on luck or guts, but on learning as much as possible to make the best decisions. Portfolio Management and Market-Class, with their uniquely rich insight into the real-life workflow of portfolio management, are a vital component in any investor's education.
