Balanced Asset Allocation / Wiley Finance Editions (PDF)

The conventional portfolio is prone to frequent and potentially
devastating losses because it is NOT balanced to different economic
outcomes. In contrast, a truly balanced portfolio can help
investors reduce risk and more reliably achieve their objectives.
This simple fact would surprise most investors, from beginners to
professionals. Investment consultant Alex Shahidi puts his 15 years
of experience advising the most sophisticated investors in the
world and managing multi-billion dollar portfolios to work in this
important resource for investors. You will better understand why
nearly every portfolio is poorly balanced and how to view the
crucial asset allocation decision from a deeper, more thoughtful
perspective. The concepts presented are simple, intuitive and easy
to implement for every investor. Author Alex Shahidi will walk you
through the logic behind the balanced portfolio framework and
provide step-by-step instructions on how to build a truly balanced
portfolio. No book has ever been written that discusses asset
allocation in this light.
