Portfolio Construction, Measurement, and Efficiency, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 Essays in Honor of Jack Treynor

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Guerard, Jr. John B.

Couverture de l’ouvrage Portfolio Construction, Measurement, and Efficiency

This volume, inspired by and dedicated to the work of pioneering investment analyst, Jack Treynor, addresses the issues of portfolio risk and return and how investment portfolios are measured.  In a career spanning over fifty years, the primary questions addressed by Jack Treynor were: Is there an observable risk-return trade-off? How can stock selection models be integrated with risk models to enhance client returns? Do managed portfolios earn positive, and statistically significant, excess returns and can mutual fund managers time the market?

Since the publication of a pair of seminal Harvard Business Review articles in the mid-1960?s, Jack Treynor has developed thinking that has greatly influenced security selection, portfolio construction and measurement, and market efficiency.  Key publications addressed such topics as the Capital Asset Pricing Model and stock selection modeling and integration with risk models.  Treynor also served as editor of the Financial Analysts Journal, through which he wrote many columns across a wide spectrum of topics.

This volume showcases original essays by leading researchers and practitioners exploring the topics that have interested Treynor while applying the most current methodologies. Such topics include the origins of portfolio theory, market timing, and portfolio construction in equity markets.  The result not only reinforces Treynor?s lasting contributions to the field but suggests new areas for research and analysis.
