This should clearly be best practice for all asset managers.'--Jase Auby, Chief Investment Officer, the Teacher Retirement System of Texas'This book shows the power of integrating risk and investment management, rather than applying risk management as an afterthought to satisfy set limits. I was pleased to shepherd some of the key ideas in this book through the publication process at The Journal of Portfolio Management.'--Frank J. Fabozzi, Editor, The Journal of Portfolio Management'Financial markets today are quite different from those of the last century.
