THE FUTURE OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Аннотация

This book grew out of two efforts that started in 2015. First, my group at BlackRock—the Systematic Active Equity team—held an investor symposium for our clients in May of that year. Raffaele Savi and Jeff Shen, the co-heads of the group, encouraged me to present a talk on the future of investment management. The winds of change had grown sufficiently strong that a talk on the general topic seemed appropriate. Soon after the symposium, I was delighted to receive an invitation to present the 2016 Thys Visser Commemorative Lecture Series at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. I chose to speak on the same topic, and the opportunity to present three hours of lectures allowed me to expand and more fully develop the material. The first version of this book, therefore, saw the light of day in South Africa. With those initial efforts behind me, I was quite receptive to discussions with Larry Siegel of the CFA Institute Research Foundation that led directly to this book.
