Investment Manager Analysis: A Comprehensive Guide to Portfolio Selection, Monitoring and Optimization (Wiley Finance) (9780471478867): Frank J. Travers: Books. Although a large percentage of the investments made in the United States and abroad are handled by professional investment managers on behalf of their clients, there has never been a methodical process by which disciplined investors could evaluate these managers–until now.Investment Manager Analysis answers this important call by taking you through the many stages of the investment manager analysis process and illustrating how to effectively analyze investment professionals and the products they manage. Because this book covers a number of different issues and asset classes, it has been divided into three information-packed sections. The first section deals with all the preliminary (background) work you need to perform before you actually begin to analyze an investment manager. Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, this section provides a solid framework with which effective investment manager evaluation can be conducted. After learning invaluable tips and techniques regarding the formation of investment objectives and becoming familiar with specific investment manager guidelines, section one will show you how to find and request information from the best investment managers in the world. The next section covers traditional equity and fixed-income manager analysis in great detail. This all-inclusive section covers such important topics as performance and risk analysis, portfolio analysis, style and attribution analysis, proper interview techniques, and contract negotiation. The section concludes by presenting a unique scoring model that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative assessments to help make better investment decisions.The final section of this book focuses on the burgeoning alternative investment space, highlighting the challenges inherent in evaluating many of the various hedge fund strategies in the marketplace today. This section includes a wealth of information, including interview techniques for hedge fund managers in the following strategies: long/short equity, convertible arbitrage, global macro, merger arbitrage, CTA, and fixed-income arbitrage.Each comprehensive section of this book focuses on a different aspect of the process or on a different asset class. To better understand each of the formulas and concepts detailed throughout the book, you’ll be introduced to a fictitious investment firm–CAM Asset Management. The data from CAM’s underlying portfolio will clearly illustrate how to perform important calculations as well as how to evaluate the results. Each formula, concept, and analytical technique discussed throughout the book is broken down and explained in detail.Step by step, Investment Manager Analysis defines all the relevant issues, concepts, and formulas associated with finding, analyzing, hiring, and firing investment managers across a wide spectrum of products and asset classes.
