Customer Reviews:

The most illuminating book on the topic (04 December 2006)
A great study text and general 'enlightener'. One of those books that gives the reader 'penny drop' moment after 'penny drop' moment.

Having worked as a fund manager, a financial services policymaker and now also a tutor in portfolio management I cannot commend Brentani's book highly enough. It has precisely the right mix of theoretical explanation and practical know-how to bring real meaning to the often complex area of fund management. And it does so in a way that appeals to professionals, practitioners, students and those simply interested in fund management alike.

Useful primer (11 April 2006)
I've found it difficult to pin down what fund managers actually do, which is kind of inconvenient given that I'm supposed to know to carry out my job properly. This book was pretty much exactly what I needed to explain all the basic concepts and seemingly imprenetrable jargon.

A great study text (24 March 2004)
For an introduction to portfolio management, this is the best I have found.

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.

Excellent for both beginners and experts (15 February 2004)
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.

Could be the "Who moved my cheese" of the Parmalat affair (15 January 2004)
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.
