Publisher's Synopsis
Performance measurement is a key function in an asset management firm and deserves better than to be grouped with the back office. Performance measurers provide real added value, with feedback into the investment decision process and analysis of structural issues. Since their role is to understand in full and communicate the sources of return within portfolios, they are often the only independent source equipped to understand the performance of all the portfolios and investment strategies operating within the asset management firm.
This book provides an introduction to the subject of performance measurement and a useful reference for all the available methodologies. There have been significant developments in the areas of performance attribution and presentation standards recently, which deserve practical coverage.
