From the Back Cover

To succeed in the world of finance you must have a solid understanding of the concepts and strategies used to perform proper investment analysis. Today, financial analysts are faced with increasingly technical topics that are theoretically complicated but practically necessary. To help you overcome these obstacles, financial expert Mark Kritzman has returned with a completely updated and expanded second edition of The Portable Financial Analyst.

The Portable Financial Analyst, Second Edition is a comprehensive collection of financial insight and advice that addresses the heart of every investor's and analyst's dilemma: how to make decisions in the face of unknown forces and how to assert some control over the outcome. Originally covered as columns in the Financial Analysts Journal, these self-contained chapters address often controversial and difficult quantitative topics without the technical jargon and mathematical symbolism that often permeate other writings. With a high degree of lucidity and impeccable logic, Kritzman shows you how to employ the tools of mathematics, statistics, and common sense when evaluating past results and projecting future performance.

Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, this invaluable resource touches on a variety of financial topics that every financial practitioner must be familiar with, including:

  • Uncertainty
  • Higher moments
  • Time diversification
  • Hypothesis testing
  • Future value and risk of loss
  • Simulation
  • Optimization
  • Risk budgets
  • Hedging
  • Option valuation and replication
  • And much more

Objective, practical, and essential, The Portable Financial Analyst, Second Edition covers the concepts, methodology, and strategies inherent to thorough and proper investment analysis. With this book as your guide you'll learn how to make the right investment decisions as well as when to make them.
