Most finance books offer a fragmented view, focusing on one topic at a time. This guide is different. It provides a holistic, integrated framework that mirrors the real-world workflow of a portfolio manager. It connects every dot, showing you how a macroeconomic forecast directly influences strategic asset allocation, how that allocation is implemented through meticulous portfolio construction, and how performance is rigorously measured and reported—all while upholding the highest ethical standards. Instead of just giving you the pieces, this book gives you the blueprint to build the entire investment management engine, providing a decisive competitive advantage in both understanding and application.
