Modern Portfolio Management: Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory

by Todd E Petzel

Portfolio management has advanced broadly since the introduction of Modern Portfolio Theory more than 60 years ago, but the knowledge of investors has not always kept up. Products are created and sold that may or may not be in the best interests of the investor or ultimately society. This book gives the reader the necessary foundation to evaluate both products and portfolios while stressing practical issues from operations to decision making and regulation.

Topics include:

Modern Portfolio Theory and its limitations, including Behavioral Finance Setting goals and objectives consistent with long-term success and then sticking to the plan Indexing versus active management Traditional and alternative investments, including private partnerships, derivatives and structures Timely investor-centric topics including governance, hiring and firing managers, fraud risks, funds-of-funds, choosing an advisor and ESG investing. How negative interest rates and cryptocurrencies are changing the landscape
