Summary: A great reference to have....
Review: I find myself referencing Feibel's performance algorithms quite often. The book overall is well written, easy to follow, and quite organized. I recommend it to anyone that needs a good handbook alongside them or is new to performance calcs.

Summary: Best book on investment performance measurement
Review: I have read many books on this subject. This book is the best. It's well written, easy to understand, but in much detail.

Some other books only cover some calculation of returns, but this book covers all the subjects that matter to investment performance measurement: Return Measurement, Risk Measurement, Efficiency and Skill Measurement, Performance Attribution and Performance Presentation.

This book is not expensive. Good value for your money.

Summary: An education and refresher course!
Review: It is about time that a text like this has been made available. There are others out there, but none that cover the breadth and detail required to understand what is relevant today. Covering everything to how returns are calculated, and then moving on up to other more complex issues such as risk and attribution - it lays it all out, along with clear examples to support the text. It should sit as a reference tool on anyone's desk who works in investment management.
