Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Portfolio Performance Measurement and Benchmarking is a comprehensive book detailing the fundamentals of investment measurement and evaluation. I am a recent business school graduate and I found the book to be well-organized and well-written. The book starts off with the building blocks of risk and return and then moves into benchmarking. What I enjoyed about the book is that it not only introduced a concept at a high level, but it also dove into the technical details of various measurement indicators. The authors of this book share their wealth of knowledge and can explain the technical details in an understandable fashion. They provide thorough explanations of the concepts and explain how to properly apply the different measurement techniques to performance evaluation. An area that I would like for a future revision is to actually expand on the example problems and answers in the first couple of chapters- maybe a section at the end of the chapter to ensure concept competency.
Overall, I believe this book has provided me with a solid foundation to embark on a career in Investment Management and it will be a great resource to review individual topics when I have questions in the future. I highly recommend this book to anybody who is looking for a comprehensive book on investment measurement and evaluation with a technical slant.
