PRAISE FOR MASTERING ATTRIBUTION IN FINANCE ‘There are only a few individuals with the requisite qualifications to under- take the task of writing a book on performance attribution, and Andrew Colin clearly ranks among them. His expertise and experience as a devel- oper, designer, and lecturer provide him with the necessary credentials. The result is a book that masterfully covers all aspects of the subject, both broadly and deeply. This book deserves to rest upon the shelves of any performance measurement or investment professional eager to learn and understand more about this subject.’ David Spaulding, DPS, CIPM CEO, The Spaulding Group ‘An excellent step forward in the explanation of the dark art of fixed income attribution! The material is methodical and strikes an appropriate balance between academic theory and practical implementation.’ Carl Bacon CIPM Chairman, StatPro Group ‘Yet again, Andrew Colin produces a book that brings together the details of attribution, blending both detailed theoretical concepts and practical examples. A must have for any attribution specialist.’ Andrew Kophamel CFA, CIPM, FRM Head of Performance, Asia Pacific, Aberdeen Asset Management A01_COLI4026_01_SE_FM.indd 1 11/23/15 9:55 AM This page intentionally left blank A01_COLI4026_01_SE_FM.indd 2 11/23/15 9:55 AM Mastering Attribution in Finance A01_COLI4026_01_SE_FM.indd 3 11/23/15 9:55 AM A01_COLI4026_01_SE_FM.indd 4 11/23/15 9:55 AM Mastering Attribution in Finance A practitioner’s guide to risk-based analysis of investment returns Andrew Colin A01_COLI4026_01_SE_FM.indd 5 11/23/15 9:55 AM PEARSON EDUCATION LIMITED Edinburgh Gate Harlow CM20 2JE United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)1279 623623 Web: www.pearson.com/uk First published 2016 (print and electronic) © Andrew Colin 2016 (print and electronic) The right of Andrew Colin to be identified as author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
