The Quant Investor's Almanac 2011: A Roadmap to Investing

Quantitative investing has been shown to generate steady returns. Not surprisingly,
individuals and companies deploying quantitative investment strategies have closely
guarded their secrets. Some strategies have been published only in advanced academic
journals that required advanced mathematical skills beyond those of an average investor.
Until now.

The Quant Investor Almanac 2011 is the first book that makes cutting-edge quantitative
investment strategies accessible to all investors, large and small, institutional and
individual.  Written in a straightforward style, this reliable guide puts quantitative investing in
perspective and provides the insights you need to manage a portfolio within such a
framework. And while the field of quantitative investing is extremely broad, the Quant
Investor's Almanac 2011 focuses on strategies associated with some of today's most
accessible financial vehicles, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds, and more.

Opening with an informative Introduction that presents an essential overview of
quantitative investing, the twelve subsequent sections--each of which correspond to a
month of the year--include the dates, times, and projected impact of key macroeconomic
events scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European
Union, and other countries. In addition to the calendar of economic events, each section
also outlines the latest quantitative investing strategies--explaining the key ideas behind
each one and enabling you to deploy them in various markets around the world.
There are ample opportunities to profit in today's market. But in order to succeed, you
need to know when and how to invest. The Quant Investor's Almanac 2011 can help you
