Institutional Asset Manager HydePark Featured in Latest Work by CFA Institute
CHICAGO-(Business Wire)-September 21, 2009 - Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today announced that the expertise of its HydePark affiliate’s co-founders, Thomas M. Richards, CFA and David E. Tierney, along with Jeffery V. Bailey, CFA of Target Corporation, is featured in the new CFA Institute book, Investment Performance Measurement: Evaluating and Presenting Results.
According to the book’s editors, Philip Lawton, CFA, CIPM and Todd Jankowski, CFA, CIPM, both from CFA Institute, the essay by Richards, Tierney, and Bailey entitled “Evaluating Portfolio Performance” provides a “masterful introduction to portfolio performance measurement, attribution, and appraisal.” The essay addresses three critical questions that are integral to the process of evaluating the performance of an account (portfolio or a group of portfolios):
1. What was the account’s performance?
2. Why did the account produce the observed performance?
3. Is the account’s performance a result of luck or skill?
The value of the paper is deemed to be “inestimable” to those exploring the field for the first time, as well as, investment professionals who are “long acquainted with the challenges of performance evaluation.”
