Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Applied Asset and Risk Management
Marcus Schulmerich · 2014
73/100
👍 Worth It
A solid bridge between classic portfolio theory and behavioral finance, with 17 worked examples and a business case plus downloadable spreadsheets instead of just abstract theory. You'll want some finance background going in, and there's a small publish-date mismatch worth verifying, but the practical bent is a real plus.
