Multi Asset Class Investment Strategy by Guy Fraser-Sampson

Multi Asset Class Investment Strategy by Guy Fraser-Sampson

The book explains that instead of asset allocation being set in an isolated and arbitrary fashion, it is in fact the way in which specific hurdle investment returns can be targeted, and that this approach is already in use in the US (and has been for many years).

"..pension fund trustees right around the globe should read the book... is certain to stir up some much needed debate..." (Global Pensions, July 2006) "...an indispensable roadmap for anyone looking to create a successful investment programme..." (The Securities Investment Review, July 2006) "...a popular choice...drawing on over 20 years of experience..." (Pensions Management, July 2006) "clear and punchy...argues convincingly...this book cannot but help to clarify your thinking." (Benefits and Compensation International, August 2006) "On the other side of the fence...Guy Fraser-Sampson...the lack of interest in the Yale model." (Financial Times, November 2006)

GUY FRASER-SAMPSON has twenty years' experience of the investment industry across a range of asset classes, most notably private equity. His career has included a spell as Investment Controller with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and setting up and running for several years the European operations of one of the world's leading fund of funds managers. Guy is a well-known figure on the conference circuit, both as a speaker and as a panellist. His first major speech on MAC investing (to the UK's National Association of Pension Funds in 2005) sparked media attention around the globe and helped to establish MAC investing as one of the current hot topics of the investment world. He is the inventor of the Total Funding Model, by which pension funds can calculate their target rate of investment return, and previously developed a model for analysing the performance of buyout managers. Guy Fraser-Sampson has an LLB with Honours from King's College London and an MBA majoring in finance from Warwick Business School. Originally a practising lawyer, he was made an equity partner in a City of London law firm at the age of 26, having been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts a year earlier. Guy has contributed many articles over the years to investment and pension publications, but this is his first book.
