Product Description
Frontiers of Modern Asset Allocation (Wiley Finance) (9781118115060): Paul D. Kaplan, Laurence B. Siegel: Books. Paul D. Kaplan has been right in the middle of these developments. First as a researcher for Ibbotson Associates and now for Morningstar, Dr. Kaplan has published dozens of articles and research papers over the past fifteen years that dig deeply into analyzing the moving parts of portfolio creation. In addition to pushing the asset-allocation debate forward with his research, Dr. Kaplan has helped develop products and tools for institutions, financial advisors, and individual investors that have made it practical to put the concepts of asset allocation into everyday use.In Frontiers of Modern Asset Allocation, Dr. Kaplan brings together twenty-seven of his best articles and interviews. He divides the book into four parts—Equities; Fixed Income, Real Estate, and Alternatives; Crashes and Fat Tails; and Doing Asset Allocation—examining everything from how asset classes should be defined to whether they should be represented by market value–weighted indexes or other principles. The book also includes interviews with industry luminaries who have greatly influenced the evolution of asset allocation, including Markowitz, Roger Ibbotson, and the late Benot Mandelbrot. Frontiers of Modern Asset Allocation is essential reading for institutional investors, wealth managers, financial planners, and academics. It includes three appendices that put theory into action with technical details for new asset-allocation frameworks, including the next generation of portfolio construction tools, which Dr. Kaplan dubs Markowitz 2.0, in honor of the father of Modern Portfolio Theory.
