Description
A fully updated guide to equity style management
Pioneered by Nobel laureate William Sharpe, equity style management is derived from a correlation analysis of various equity style categories, such as value, growth, small cap, large cap and foreign stocks. In the Third Edition of The Handbook of Equity Style Management, twenty contributors from industry and academia help readers understand various equity style management issues, including equity style indices, different approaches to equity style measurement, foreign stock investing, tactical style management, behavioral aspects of equity style, and equity style benchmarks for manager selection and performance attribution. This updated edition gives readers the rationale behind equity style management, and shows how new strategies can be used to manage risk and improve returns.
T. Daniel Coggin, PhD (Charlotte, NC), is an investment management consultant who has coauthored three books and numerous articles on investment management. Frank J. Fabozzi, PhD, CFA (New Hope, PA), is Editor of The Journal of Portfolio Management and author or editor of over 100 books on finance and investing.

Expected more practical stuff from it

I bought this book in hope to learn about the practical side of style management - how to calculate information coefficients and how to explain them, how to do single and multivariate regressions on the portfolio, etc. If that is what you want, get another book. Once you read it, come back and read this book, and it will give you a deeper understanding of the usage, history, theory behind it.
