Short description:
The book aligns the best of established theory, empirical evidence and industry practice to operationalise equity investment and match it to practices in the real world. It does not merely repackage the contemporary investment paradigm, but develops a new perspective that follows a rigorous research philosophy and is based on field evidence.
Long description:
The modern finance paradigm is incomplete. Obvious gaps include poor performance of professional investors, puzzles enough in equity markets to support a sub-discipline of behavioural finance that patches over irrational biases and mispricings, and chronic, but inexplicable, financial crises. As with so many other disciplines, existing finance theory explains less than a tenth of what we see in markets and investment. A new paradigm of investment is needed.
In a new perspective on contemporary equity investment based on a rigorous research philosophy and field evidence, Coleman presents two main innovations. The first is to treat equities as contracts that have extensive properties and are best described by a price model with multiple components. The second is to limit value horizon to a reasonably foreseeable next year. Another feature, he says, is a focus on the central objectives of equity investment: valuation of individual equities, managing exposure to losses, diversification of holdings through an appropriate portfolio, and timing buy-sell transactions.
New Principles of Equity Investment brings together robust scientific methodology with empirical evidence to propose a new paradigm of equity investment. It begins with a wide-ranging review of investor practices using mainly US and European research and surveys, and then outlines the nature of investment risk, the links between equity returns and institutional factors, and the structure of equity markets. The result is a sophisticated description of what we know is true about investment, and a frank assessment of the limitations to investment expertise. The author then presents a coherent, workable theory of equity prices that can be applied in practice by equity investors, and explains logical investor behaviours that have been thought of as biases.
Written by an academic with many years of practical investment experience, this book will provide new insights for equity investors who are looking for new perspectives and a better understanding of today?s complex markets.
