"Quantitative Investment Analysis is an essential book for any serious investor in today's financial markets. Cogently written, the authors cover a robust array of quantitative methods in a straightforward and digestible style. This book should be on everyone's short list of necessary reading and reference."

"This second Edition of Quantitative Investment Analysis provides a strong foundation for investment practitioners seeking benefit from the rigor and discipline of quantitative tools and analysis. An abundance of examples enhances the value of this essential text for non–classroom pedagogy."

"Quantitative Investment Analysis gets to the heart of the matter. Crisp, well–written, and technically thorough, this book provides an excellent foundation for understanding the statistics and economics of portfolio management and asset pricing. It also provides a thorough review of the major asset pricing models widely used today."
