INVESTMENTS
Portfolio Theory and Asset
Pricing Edwin J. Eiton and Martin J. Gruber
Investments, a two-volume
collection of articles in investment and portfolio management, spans the thirty-five-year
collaborative effort of two key figures in finance. Each of the nine sections begins with
an overview that introduces the main contributions of the pieces and traces the
development of the field. Each volume contains a foreword by Nobel laureate Harry
Markowitz.
This volume presents the
authors' groundbreaking work on estimating the inputs to portfolio optimization, including
the analysis of alternative structures such as single and multi-index models in
forecasting correlations; portfolio maximization under alternative specifications for
return structures; the impact of CAPM and APT in the investment process; and taxes and
portfolio composition.
Edwin j. Eiton and Martin j.
Gruber are both Nomura Professors of Finance at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business,
New York University, and former Presidents of the American Finance Association.
