CFA INSTITUTE INVESTMENT SERIES Your up-to-date guide to quantitative analysis in the investment industry "Quantitative Investment Analysis provides all of the essential tools to understand the quantitative aspects of investing. In a world in which technology and quantitative techniques increasingly are canvassing all aspects of business and business analysis, the foundations of quantitative analysis have never been more important to the investment game, and will only become more important in the years to come. All investors can benefit from a thorough understanding of the use of quantitative methods." —Ted Seides, CFA, Co-Chief Investment Officer and President, Protégé Partners "When it comes to finance, building a foundation is mission critical. Quantitative Investment Analysis successfully facilitates this mission—providing a first-class education on the critical skills and concepts required to be a successful investment practitioner. Highly recommended." —Wesley R. Gray, PhD, CEO/CIO of Alpha Architect, and author of Quantitative Value and DIY Financial Advisor "Quantitative Investment Analysis gets to the heart of the matter. Crisp, well-written, and technically thorough, this book provides an excellent foundation for understanding the statistics and economics of portfolio management and asset pricing. It also provides a thorough review of the major asset pricing models widely used today." —David Blackwell, Dean, Gatton College of Business and Economics, University of Kentucky
