Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Fabozzi, the guy who churned out a dozen fixed income books, has turned his attention to equity models. With two coauthors, his Financial Modeling of the Equity Market book is a comprehensive treatise on quantitative methodologies employed in equity investment and trading. Densely packed with mathematical and statistical formulae, this book is an excellent reference guide for those desiring to learn and understand equity models. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is, like other Fabozzi books, this is heavy on the "trees" but light on the "forest," i.e., it gives you lots of equations and details but does not provide a good overview as to the why. In a sense, its audience is the technocrats, not the thinkers. It's good for the financial engineers, not the financial innovators. Still, the vast majority of us on Wall Street, yours truly included, are technical people who don't have a vision, so for us mere mortals, this is a one-stop-shop book on quant equity models.

An inside look at modern approaches to modeling equity portfolios
Financial Modeling of the Equity Market is the most comprehensive, up-to-date guide to modeling equity portfolios. The book is intended for a wide range of quantitative analysts, practitioners, and students of finance. Without sacrificing mathematical rigor, it presents arguments in a concise and clear style with a wealth of real-world examples and practical simulations. This book presents all the major approaches to single-period return analysis, including modeling, estimation, and optimization issues. It covers both static and dynamic factor analysis, regime shifts, long-run modeling, and cointegration. Estimation issues, including dimensionality reduction, Bayesian estimates, the Black-Litterman model, and random coefficient models, are also covered in depth. Important advances in transaction cost measurement and modeling, robust optimization, and recent developments in optimization with higher moments are also discussed.
