Zusatztext For sophisticated practitioners! Quantitative Fund Management is likely to become a cherished reference that brings theoretical and mathematical rigor to the many practical problems of portfolio choice and risk assessment.Crucially! its emphasis on dynamic solutions to portfolio decision problems brings vastly more realism than prior models thatimplied investor behavior that was static and unresponsive to changes in market conditions and investor financial circumstances.While there is much valuable content in the book for academics as well! the greatest regret for many academics will be that it was not they that have written it.-Dan diBartelomeo! President! Northfield Information Services! Boston! Massachusetts!

Pioneer Investments adopts stochastic programming to perform risk assessment and sensitivity analysis and to exploit strategic asset allocation for institutional clients! such as defined benefit pension funds and trusts.

ItalyRecent advances in the understanding of financial markets have led to innovative new products and strategies! together with challenges to classical assumptions about the nature of prices over time. Quantitative Fund Management provides state-of-the-art descriptions of new discoveries and their value for practical fund management. Its chapters detail analytical and computational techniques that explicitly incorporate the dynamic nature of prices! the potential lack of symmetry in their returns! and the consequences for an investor. The book is unique in providing a wide variety of novel outlooks on these issues ranging from mathematical insights into model structures to a compilation of actual fund management practices. Both academics and practitioners will benefit from having this single comprehensive source on the latest developments in quantitative fund management theory! methodology! and implementation.-John Birge!
