Synopsis

This book extends the boundaries of portfolio selection theory, first developed by H.M. Markowitz in 1952 and limited to a set of assumptions that ignored real-world investor concerns. The author here revises Markowitz's model to encompass the full range of portfolio management decision-making, including transactions costs, short selling, and the use of margin loans and unsecured debt. The significance of the author's contribution is to bring what was once a largely theoretical model into the real world of complex investment possibilities. By considering the actual costs and concerns of portfolio managers, the updated framework presented here details an approach to portfolio optimization that will deliver results that are more reflective of the decision making required of investment advisors.
