Dalla quarta di copertina

<p>Many financial professionals find explorations of risk to be unduly complex and mathematically oriented. In the newest edition of <i>Practical Risk-adjusted Performance Measurement,</i> however, Carl R. Bacon provides readers with an insightful and comprehensive examination of ex-post risk measurement that doesn&#8217;t get bogged down in the numbers.</p> <p>Written for risk and performance measurement professionals from a buy-side, asset management perspective, the author bridges the gap between theory and practice, focusing on quantitative and practical ex-post measures instead of the qualitative aspects of risk. Throughout, he provides numerous worked examples of risk measures and their interpretation. <p>The book consists of a simplified&#8212;but sophisticated&#8212;approach to risk, showing readers how to use different risk measures in different situations at different times. It offers explanations of how to use these different measures in a concise and easy-to-navigate fashion. <p>From the fundamentals of the subject of risk to the use of risk-adjusted performance measures in the context of performance fees, <i>Practical Risk-adjusted Performance Measurement</i> explores every critical aspect of the role played by risk in performance measurement. Readers will build on their knowledge of concepts including regression, drawdown, partial moments, fixed income risk, and Prospect Theory, along with the descriptive statistics essential to the work in this field. <p>Finally, the author explores the interconnection between ex-post risk measures, discusses various risk measure dashboard designs, and examines how appraisal measures should be used for manager selection. <p>The latest edition of <i>Practical Risk-adjusted Performance Measurement</i> is an indispensable guide for portfolio managers, investment performance analysts, risk controllers, and performance directors. It&#8217;s also a must-read guide for any professional seeking an intuitive and evidence-based exploration of the buy-side, asset management perspective.
