Book Reviews of Quantitative Investment Analysis (Wiley Desktop Editions)
Book Review: Great comprehensive book that starts from the ground up...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found great disappointment with many Quantitative Analysis books because of their lack of explanation of sophisticated concepts. I find that either they are geared towards academics who already a Masters or pHd in the field, or they do a poor job of providing adequate explanation of foundational concepts (I guess that is to be expected from pHd's).
This book does a fabulous job of:
- introducing a topic
- summarizing its usefulness in a relevant context
- providing sufficient methodology of calculations and relevant mathematics
- and then providing case studies to be worked out (with solutions) that apply the given concept.
This book has clarified several issues for me, from multi-factor models to statistical estimation and sampling.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who does not already have a degree in the field who is looking to gain greater understanding of Quantitative concepts in the field of Investment Management. This book will now be the most useful reference on my bookshelf. It is the BEST book I have found on the topic to date (and I have bought well over a dozen).
The only drawback is that the book does not come with a companion CD that illustrates more sophisticated examples in a computing environment.
