Product Description

Product Description

Performance measurement and attribution are key tools in informing investment decisions and strategies. Performance measurement is the quality control of the investment decision process, enabling money managers to calculate return, understand the behaviour of a portfolio of assets, communicate with clients and determine how performance can be improved.


Focusing on the practical use and calculation of performance returns rather than the academic background, Practical Portfolio Performance Measurement and Attribution provides a clear guide to the role and implications of these methods in today′s financial environment, enabling readers to apply their knowledge with immediate effect.


Fully updated from the first edition, this book covers key new developments such as fixed income attribution, attribution of derivative instruments and alternative investment strategies, leverage and short positions, risk–adjusted performance measures for hedge funds plus updates on presentation standards. Complete with a CD containing worked examples for the majority of exhibits, the book covers the mathematical aspects of the topic in an accessible and practical way, making this book an essential reference for anyone involved in asset management.

Thoroughly revised and substantially enhanced, the second edition of Carl Bacon’s work is indispensable for serious investment performance professionals.

—Philip Lawton, CFA, CIPM Head, CIPM Program, CFA Institute

He’s a standout, a true expert in the field. In an industry rife with interpretive necessity, Carl stays the course with useful instruction, experienced guidance, and well organized references to the mechanics of performance measurement and attribution. It’s a practical resource that will continue to garner the audience it deserves."

—Tobin S. Cochran, Partner/President, Ashland Partners & Company LLP

Carl Bacon is one of the most knowledgeable professionals I know on the subject of performance measurement. He has been a pioneer, leader, and teacher at the forefront of developments in global investment performance measurement and attribution, risk measurement, and industry standards. I am very pleased he has significantly updated this timely and useful book with new emphasis on fixed income attribution, hedge funds, and derivatives. It is a great reference for all investment management professionals.”

—James Hollis, Managing Director, Cutler Associates

Carl has updated his book with further developments and to reflect his extensive travels and discussion about Performance Measurement. This second edition is now the most comprehensive guide to calculation and reporting techniques around the world and should be a feature on the desk of anyone working in, or using, Performance Measurement.”

—Brian Chapman, Director and Leader of GIPS related services, KPMG

Carl’s first edition is a renowned reference manual. The second edition not only enhances each and every chapter but also addresses many of the latest topics in our industry. Carl’s books always deliver unassailable help in an exceptionally effective manner; a compelling instructional handbook.”

—Mark Goodey, Head of Performance, Morley Fund Management (AVIVA Investors)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sagelike, 8 Oct 2004
By Simon Carter (NORTHWOOD, Middx United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Mr Bacon succinctly describes how portfolio performance measures are utilised within the investment world. Mr Bacon writes with an authority well beyond his tender years and manages to make the most boring of topics interesting, at least relative to their subject matter. I commend this book to seasoned practitioners and virgins alike.
