Details

Founded by Gifford Fong in 2003, the Journal Of Investment Management (JOIM) is a premier publication that bridges the theory and practice of investment management. The JOIM Conference Series showcases the leading thinkers in finance from both the academic and professional worlds. Their research is presented to an exclusive—and equally prestigious—audience.

This book is a selection of the ideas offered at the first two conference series. Created from the presentations and background papers of each speaker, the resulting chapters cover a variety of topics in investment management, distilled to the essence of what financial professionals need to know.

Contributors include legendary market researchers Andrew W. Lo, Nobel Prize-winner Robert Merton, Zvi Bodie, Barton Waring, Sanjiv Das, Ananth Madhavan, George Chacko, and Terry Marsh.
