{"product_id":"book-k3om","title":"Pioneering Portfolio Management","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable road map for creating a successful investment program from Yale’s chief investment officer, David F. Swensen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the years since the now-classic \u003ci\u003ePioneering Portfolio Management\u003c\/i\u003e was first published, the global investment landscape has changed dramatically - but the results of David Swensen's investment strategy for the Yale University endowment have remained as impressive as ever. Year after year, Yale's portfolio has trumped the marketplace by a wide margin, and, with more than $20 billion added to the endowment under his 23-year tenure, Swensen has contributed more to Yale's finances than anyone ever has to any university in the country. What may have seemed like one among many success stories in the era before the Internet bubble burst emerges now as a completely unprecedented institutional investment achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, author of the best-selling personal finance guide \u003ci\u003eUnconventional Success\u003c\/i\u003e, describes the investment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid and penetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management, illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fund management. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawn from his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handling risk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially when describing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads to buying high and selling low. Trust is more important than flash-in-the-pan success. Expertise, fortitude, and the long view produce positive results where gimmicks and trend following do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original \u003ci\u003ePioneering Portfolio Management\u003c\/i\u003e outlined a common-sense template for structuring a well-diversified equity-oriented portfolio. This new edition provides fund managers and students of the market an up-to-date guide for actively managed investment portfolios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced and published by Echo Point Books \u0026amp; Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2000, 2009 David F.
