<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Emotional behavior and biases run throughout financial markets. This is the diagnosis of behavioral finance. But it is not enough to know that investors make biased decisions. What do we do about it? How do we move beyond diagnosis, to prescription? In this groundbreaking new book, investing and behavioural finance experts Thomas Howard and Jason A. Voss fill this void and show the new way ahead for investment managers and advisors. Return of the Active Manager provides a set of tools for investment professionals to overcome and take advantage of behavioral biases. Across seven compelling chapters, Return of the Active Manager details actionable advice on topics such as behaviourally-enhanced fundamental analysis, active equity fund evaluation and selection, harnessing big data, and investment firm structure. You learn how to exploit behavioural price distortions, how to recognize and avoid behavioural biases (in both yourself and clients), how to extract behavioral insights from the executives of prospective investments, and how manager behaviour can be used to predict future fund performance. An indispensable tool, Return of the Active Manager rationalizes the financial markets and prescribes actionable strategies that build on the lessons of behavioural finance." --Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Emotional behavior and biases run throughout financial markets.

This book provides the very timely service to readers of synthesizing several of the key insights and findings from this recent evidence and providing actionable principles for identifying profitable investments in the actively-managed fund space.--Andrew Detzel, Assistant Professor of Finance, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver<br><br>If you do not believe in active management, please read this book, it will challenge you to think differently about it. If you are a believer, please read this book, it will provide you with entirely new insights to work with. I just wish this book had been written 20 years ago, I may have had a more successful career in investment management.--Prasad Ramani, CFA, FRM, CAIA, CEO, Syntoniq<br><br>The book offers a convincing alternate view to look at active investment management and is a must for asset owners, irrespective of asset class, and wealth professionals.--Biharilal Deora, FCA, CFA, CIPM, Director, Abakkus Asset Manager<br><br>Tom and Jason have combined their extensive knowledge and direct experience to create a standout.
