Managing Investment Portfolios: A Dynamic Process (CFA Institute Investment Series)
"A rare blend of a well-organized, comprehensive guide to portfolio management and a deep, cutting-edge treatment of the key topics by distinguished authors who have all practiced what they preach. The subtitle, A Dynamic Process, points to the fresh, modern ideas that sparkle throughout this new edition. Just reading Peter Bernstein's thoughtful Foreword can move you forward in your thinking about this critical subject."

Reads just like a textbook,
For someone wanting a technical textbook, this is very good. For someone who wants more than just a textbook, or just really doesn't have any professional knowledge in the portfolio management field, and wants advise for managing his/her portfolio that is easy to understand and comprehend, this book is not for you.

|Comprehensive,
Very thorough background on issues/variables/concepts you need to understand and take into account when managing an investment portfolio, both personal and institutional.

|Beware, the book has around 40 authors!,
Beware, the book has around 40 (!) authors, besides somewhat misleading cover statement about four persons (they are only editors). As a result the text is not consistent and uniform, although it has well-written parts like chapter 5 on asset allocation, which is co-authored by William Sharpe. Overall it is useful reference text if you already have enough knowledge of portfolio management process, but not something you will like to read in consecutive order.
