Richard Brealey presents a brief, nontechnical description of
current research on investment management and its implications for
the investment manager. He covers market efficiency, valuation, and
modern portfolio theory in a book that The New York Times noted
"rates high as reading for every professional investor."Brealey's
easy-to-understand approach to modern investment theory will also
prove invaluable to students. The book evaluates the use of
technical models and fundamental analysis for common stock
selection, examining the implications of the random walk
hypothesis, publicly available information, and the efficient
market theory. It takes up the valuation of common stocks and
reasons for fluctuations in earnings and deals with the choice of a
common stock portfolio, discussing how stocks move together, the
effect of the market on stock prices, passive and active
portfolios, risk and return, and measuring investment
performance.Richard A. Brealey is Midland Bank Professor of
Corporate Finance and Director of the London Business School's
Institute of Finance and Accounting.
