Recenzii

“Heterodox Investment Theory is a thought-provoking book … . The book’s greatest contribution is to encourage investment professionals to look beyond the standard investment models that are taught in business schools and the statistics underlying the theories and to consider alternative models that may enhance their understanding of financial markets. Those who are comfortable with the jargon of philosophy and rhetoric will likely find this an interesting book that opens up their minds to new modes of thinking.” (Ronald L. Moy,Enterprising Investor, blogs.cfainstitute.org, June 21, 2019)

Notă biografică

Thomas Pistorius, PhD, holds a Masters degree in finance from Tilburg University and a Bachelor in philosophy from Utrecht University, Netherlands. He has spent his professional life working in investment management as an investment advisor, analyst, risk manager, and researcher. His research is driven by an interest in finance and the arts, encompassing the rhetoric, history, philosophy, and culture of investment theory to discuss stochastic predictability.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The best and the brightest investment gurus often rely on rational, statistical calculations of risk and return of investments. Pistorius traces their rhetoric and comes to a modest conclusion that stochastic predictability does not exist in investing. Thus, if we follow investment advice, we are gambling because of their rank in professional hierarchies of status and authority, not because of their access to the holy grail of a successful prediction.
