Quantitative Investment Analysis (CFA Institute Investment Series) [Hardcover] Richard A. DeFusco CFA (Author), Dennis W. McLeavey CFA (Author), Jerald E. Pinto CFA (Author), David E. Runkle CFA (Author),
A very useful book for all CFA candidates who are starting to prepare for the exam. A lot of essential information is described in a very simple and logical way. A must-read!
Drawbacks: Some chapters are too bulky and can be shortened in order not to waste time.
This book consolidates the quantitative methods material from the CFA level 1 and level 2 curriculum. It's very straight forward and practical; it's a must-have for any analyst wanting a resource for quick references of statistical methods.
