Portfolio Management in Practice (Essential Capital Markets)

It is well-organised, easy-to-read, and unravels the complexity of portfolio management in logical, incremental steps.

Brentani has struck the right balance between theory, practical examples, and sample questions. It has the perfect ingredients for a study text.

Was recommended this book by a colleague and have been thoroughly impressed by it.

Brentani has done a great job at producing a book that is well structured, clear, concise with thoughtful examples and a great glossary and thus perfect for the novice, whilst at the same time including all the essentials that would make this book an excellent reference for the experienced practitioner.

Very good explanation of fund management for beginners.

This is a good and well-organised attack on the subject - the format is clear and how it has helped me to understand the basics of fund management and I understand from others that it is also useful for experienced fund managers. It has gone some way to restoring my faith in the industry post Equitable, etc.

Well worth the money.
