Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An authoritative resource for the wealth management industry that bridges the gap between modern perspectives on asset allocation and practical implementationAn advanced yet practical dive into the world of asset allocation, Modern Asset Allocation for Wealth Management provides the knowledge financial advisors and their robo-advisor counterparts need to reclaim ownership of the asset allocation component of their fiduciary responsibility. Wealth management practitioners are commonly taught the traditional mean-variance approach in CFA and similar curricula, a method with increasingly limited applicability given the evolution of investment products and our understanding of real-world client preferences. Additionally, financial advisors and researchers typically receive little to no training on how to implement a robust asset allocation framework, a conceptually simple yet practically very challenging task. This timely book offers professional wealth managers and researchers an up-to-date and implementable toolset for managing client portfolios.The information presented in this book far exceeds the basic models and heuristics most commonly used today, presenting advances in asset allocation that have been isolated to academic and institutional portfolio management settings until now, while simultaneously providing a clear framework that advisors can immediately deploy. This rigorous manuscript covers all aspects of creating client portfolios: setting client risk preferences, deciding which assets to include in the portfolio mix, forecasting future asset performance, and running an optimization to set a final allocation. An important resource for all wealth management fiduciaries, this book enables readers to:\* Implement a rigorous yet streamlined asset allocation framework that they can stand behind with conviction\* Deploy both neo-classical and behavioral elements of client preferences to more accurately establish a client risk profile\* Incorporate client financial goals into the asset allocation process systematically and precisely with a simple balance sheet model\* Create a systematic framework for justifying which assets should be included in client portfolios\* Build capital market assumptions from historical data via a statistically sound and intuitive process\* Run optimization methods that respect complex client preferences and real-world asset characteristicsModern Asset Allocation for Wealth Management is ideal for practicing financial advisors and researchers in both traditional and robo-advisor settings, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on asset allocation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) was first developed in the 1980s as a time-limited individual therapy that could be used in publicly funded services, but is now being extended into new and longer formats for more complex patient groups. Although initially an attempt to integrate psychoanalytic and cognitive theories and methods, CAT has over time become increasingly differentiated from both. Now, it is established as a distinct model, still evolving and with an ever-expanding research base, which offers a coherent understanding of normal and dysfunctional individual psychology. The second edition of Introducing CAT will follow the same form as the first, to offer a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the origins, development and practice of CAT. However, the new edition will provide a fully updated overview of developments in theory, practice and research, and of extensions into new areas. It will supplant the first edition as the primary teaching text for all CAT training that takes place worldwide. There are currently 15 established courses in the UK plus more in Greece, Finland, Australia and Spain, and developing interest in countries such as Chile, New Zealand and Bulgaria. The international community is brought together by the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) and the new International Cognitive Analytic Therapy Association (ICATA), launched in autumn 2009'--.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The derivation of structural information from spectroscopic data is now an integral part of organic chemistry courses at all Universities. A critical part of any such course is a suitable set of problems to develop the students' understanding of how organic structures are determined from spectra. The book builds on the very successful teaching philosophy of learning by hands-on problem solving; carefully graded examples build confidence and develop and consolidate a student's understanding of organic spectroscopy.Organic Structures from Spectra, 6th Edition is a carefully chosen set of about 250 structural problems employing the major modern spectroscopic techniques, including Mass Spectrometry, 1D and 2D 13C and 1H NMR Spectroscopy and Infrared Spectroscopy. There are 25 problems specifically dealing with the interpretation of spin-spin coupling in proton NMR spectra and 10 problems based on the quantitative analysis of mixtures using proton and carbon NMR spectroscopy. The accompanying text is descriptive and only explains the underlying theory at a level that is sufficient to tackle the problems. The text includes condensed tables of characteristic spectral properties covering the frequently encountered functional groups.The examples themselves have been selected to include all important structural features and to emphasise connectivity arguments and stereochemistry. Many of the compounds were synthesised specifically for this book. In this collection, there are many additional easy problems designed to build confidence and to demonstrate basic principles.The Sixth Edition of this popular textbook:\* now incorporates many new problems using 2D NMR spectra (C-H Correlation spectroscopy, HMBC, COSY, NOESY and TOCSY);\* has been expanded and updated to reflect the new developments in NMR spectroscopy;\* has an additional 40 carefully selected basic problems;\* provides a set of problems dealing specifically with the quantitative analysis of mixtures using NMR spectroscopy;\* features proton NMR spectra obtained at 200, 400 and 600 MHz and 13C NMR spectra including routine 2D C-H correlation, HMBC spectra and DEPT spectra;\* contains a selection of problems in the style of the experimental section of a research paper;\* includes examples of fully worked solutions in the appendix;\* has a complete set of solutions available to instructors and teachers from the authors.Organic Structures from Spectra, Sixth Edition will prove invaluable for students of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biochemistry taking a first course in Organic Chemistry.…
