Rezensionen

'Prof. Dr. Megha Agarwal's book, Developments in Mean-Variance Efficient Portfolio Selection, reviews the modern portfolio theory and discusses how to apply it in practice given recent research findings. Indian stock markets are used as an example throughout the book and I am sure that Prof. Agarwal's book is an excellent source of knowledge for both academia and practitioners interested in the Indian stock markets.'

(Mika Vaihekoski, Professor of Finance, University of Turku, Finland)

'The mean-variance model formulated and applied in this research work provides a meaningful contribution to the ever evolving subject matter of optimal portfolio construction based upon the trade-off between risk and return comfort levels for a given investor. The research work is relevant to both the professional portfolio manager providing investment counsel to multiple clients, and to the individual investor who wishes to make informed decisions on the construction of a personal portfolio. The work is well researched and presented in a clear and convincing manner.'
