From firm governance and firm structure-for single capability, multi-capability, and investment and product firms-to culture, strategy, vision, and execution, authors Brian Singer, Barry Mandinach, and Greg Fedorinchik touch upon key topics including the differences between leading and managing; investment philosophy, process, and portfolio construction; communication and transparency; and ethics and integrity.

Investment Leadership & Portfolio Management contains the insights and information needed to make significant strides in this dynamic arena., Praise for Investment Leadership and Portfolio Management "This short book packs a lot of wisdom about portfolio management. It demonstrates the importance of firm culture and longer time horizons to successful investing, while putting forward a truly creative approach to performance fees." Bob Pozen, Chairman, MFS Investment Management "Singer and Fedorinchik have added an important book to the library of investment leaders. They drill deep into the question of product-driven vs. investment-driven firms, covering important foundational topics like vision, mission, culture, compensation, and fee structures. When serious practitioners like these three take the time to write about best practices, the result is a book that rings true. Full of practical ideas that are supported by a deep understanding of the underlying financial theories and lots of real-world, front-line experience. A must-read for all investment professionals who are committed to getting it right in this post-crisis environment." James Ware, CFA, author of High Performing Investment Teams, founder of Focus Consulting Group "In an exceptional and decidedly unique style, Investment Leadership and Portfolio Management deserves special attention from any investor. The authors weave a wonderful mosaic of the investment management landscape that is both different from other investment books and compelling in its focus on the truly relevant issues. The case studies and references to actual experiences make this book an enjoyable read and, equally important, provide long-sought attention to the factors that really matter in the quest for investment performance." Gary P. Brinson, President, GP Brinson Investments "Singer and Fedorinchik have laid out a clear vision of the modern, post-crisis asset management firm in which the interests of the investment professionals, the firm and the end client are fully aligned. This book combines decades of practical experience with original insights from portfolio and behavior theory, in equal measures of wit and wisdom." Donald M. Raymond, PhD, CFA, Senior Vice President, Public Market Investments, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
