Authored by Giuseppe Paleologo, a leading quant with senior roles at major hedge funds, this book offers deep dives into factor models, portfolio management, and real-world quantitative methods, making it essential for finance professionals seeking advanced, actionable knowledge. ## Description Expert real-world insight on the intricacies of quantitative trading before, during, and after the trade The Elements of Quantitative Investing is a comprehensive guide to quantitative investing, covering everything readers need to know from inception of a strategy, to execution, to post-trade analysis, with insight into all the quantitative methods used throughout the investment process. This book describes all the steps of quantitative modeling, including statistical properties of returns, factor model, portfolio management, and more. The inclusion of each topic is determined by real-world applicability. Divided into three parts, each corresponding to a phase of the investment process, this book focuses on well-known factor models, such as PCA, but with essential grounding in financial context. This book encourages the reader to think deeply about simple things. The author, Giuseppe Paleologo, has held senior quantitative research and risk management positions at three of the four biggest hedge fund platforms in the world, and at one of the top three proprietary trading firms. Currently, he serves as the Head of Quantitative Research at Balyasny Asset Management with $21 billion in assets under management. He has held teaching positions at Cornell University and New York University and holds a Ph.D. and two M.S. from Stanford University. This book answers questions that every quantitative investor has asked at some point in their career, including: How do I model multivariate returns? How do I test these models, either developed by me or by commercial vendors? How do I incorporate asset-specific data in my model? How do I convert risk appetite and expected returns into a portfolio? How do I account for transaction costs in portfolio management? The Elements of Quantitative Investing earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of financial practitioners seeking expert insight from a leading financial executive on quantitative investment topics―knowledge which is usually accessible to few and transmitted by one-on-one apprenticeship. Review: New-ish structured handbook (Grinold and Kahn etc) for qvants. - Not a fan of his "hot takes" on social media. Great book nonetheless. Review: Not worth of money paid - This book is for you if you have a degree in Finance and if you have a degree in Finance you don’t need this book, because you already know everything. I don’t know who are the target readers of this book. It is mathematically so rich that people without a finance degree will not understand it and people with a finance degree do not need it. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 33,468 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 52 Reviews | ## Images ![The Elements of Quantitative Investing (Wiley Finance) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MUbx3xgkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ New-ish structured handbook (Grinold and Kahn etc) for qvants. *by B***E on 1 February 2026* Not a fan of his "hot takes" on social media.

It is a highly technical analysis of some very specific problems in portfolio construction. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Elements of Quantitative Investing (Wiley Finance) - Advanced Portfolio Management: A Quant's Guide for Fundamental Investors - Quantitative Portfolio Management: The Art and Science of Statistical Arbitrage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/677331354-the-elements-of-quantitative-investing-wiley-finance](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/677331354-the-elements-of-quantitative-investing-wiley-finance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
