Produktbeschreibung

Praise for Applied Portfolio Management "Speaking to the APM class has always been an energizing experience. I'm glad that investors can now share in the enthusiasm and great returns the class has produced. International investing has always been one of the strengths of the class. I'm impressed with their global view. The class, and now this book, offer a unique perspective on investing throughout the world." --Victor Almeida, President and CEO, Interceramic "Professors Shenoy and McCarthy translate lessons from the school of hard knocks to academe. In doing so, they reveal the secrets that have led to over twenty years--and still counting--of stellar investment performance." --John Charnes, author of Financial Modeling with Crystal Ball and Excel "As a former student who has been in the investment research and management business for the past twelve years, I continue to use the principles I learned in the APM class on a daily basis. I believe these principles can help anyone beat the market." --Scott F. Jones, CFA, Managing Member, Prairie Wind Capital, LLC "Having had the opportunity to present to the Applied Portfolio Management class on four different occasions, I see the huge benefits the students get from investing real money. Each time, their analysis of our company was very thorough and well done. It was a real challenge to get a buy recommendation from the class. There was no difference in presenting to the APM class or presenting at any professional investor conference." --John B. Dicus, CEO, Capitol Federal Financial "Professors McCarthy and Shenoy have created a unique class at the University of Kansas. They have created the opportunity for students to participate in a 'real world' investment management experience--relating financial theory to actual practice. Students gain real insight into the process of individual stock selection and overall portfolio construction. Most importantly, the APM class demonstrates to students that 'intelligent' investing involves fundamental homework, an openness to new ideas, and adherence to a coherent overall strategy." --Robert Kaplan, University of Kansas alumnus
