There are hundreds of exhibits in the investment “factor zoo.” Which ones are actually worth your time, and your money?

Andrew L. Berkin and Larry E. Swedroe, co-authors of The Incredible Shrinking Alpha, bring you a thorough yet still jargon-free and accessible guide to applying one of today’s most valuable quantitative, evidence-based approaches to outperforming the market: factor investing. Designed for savvy investors and professional advisors alike, Your Complete Guide to Factor-Based Investing: The Way Smart Money Invests Today takes you on a journey through the land of academic research and an extensive review of its 50-year quest to uncover the secret of successful investing.

Along the way, Berkin and Swedroe cite and distill more than 100 academic papers on finance and introduce five unique criteria that a factor (at its most basic, a characteristic or set of characteristics common among a broad set of securities) must meet to be considered worthy of your investment. In addition to providing explanatory power to portfolio returns and delivering a premium, Swedroe and Berkin argue a factor should be persistent, pervasive, robust, investable and intuitive.

By the end, you’ll have learned that, within the entire “factor zoo,” only certain exhibits are worth visiting and only a handful of factors are required to invest in the same manner that made Warren Buffett a legend.

Your Complete Guide to Factor-Based Investing: The Way Smart Money Invests Today offers an in-depth look at the evidence practitioners use to build portfolios and how you as an investor can benefit from that knowledge, rendering it an essential resource for making the informed and prudent investment decisions necessary to help secure your financial future.

信贷是商业银行核心的业务，是银行利润和风险主要的来源。当前，好银行和坏银行的区别，主要是由银行信贷经营能力决定的。

《信贷的逻辑与常识》专注于探讨微观层面信用风险的控制问题，作者结合自己长期的银行信贷工作实践及体会，用通俗的语言，辅之以大量的实际案例，阐述了银行日常信用风险管理中的道理。本书从信贷从业人员（客户经理和风险经理）应具备的基本概念着手，构建了一个适用于单个客户、单个项目和单笔业务的信用风险分析框架，该框架包括了客户分析、用途与交易背景分析、项目分析、市场分析、还款来源及还款能力分析、担保抵押分析和融资方案分析等。在此基础上，作者还从银行债权人的视角，对信贷业务涉及的企业财务报表进行了专门的分析和解读，对债券承销及投资、表外理财投资、投贷联动等创新业务及其风险控制问题进行了深入的探讨，本书的内容涵盖了当前银行可能涉及的绝大部分信用风险业务领域。此外，本书还对当前银行信贷业务的热点和难点问题，如过度负债、防假反假、民间借贷、关联交易等进行了积极的探讨。

中国人民银行副行长范一飞、中国工商银行原副行长张衢、中信银行行长孙德顺、中国工商银行授信审批部总经理索绪全等业内权威人士均为本书做了推荐。

本书讲述了如何为了证券定价的目的进行财务报表分析，作者将财务报表分析与证券定价直接地、具体地结合起来，使读者可以一层层地解剖各种财务报表数据，一步步地调整原始形态的数据，将其转化为对评估企业价值有帮助的数据，并终利用这些数据对企业的价值做出评估。

本书是一本引人入胜、信息量大、覆盖各类交易策略的图书。无论个人投资者，还是机构投资者，都可以借鉴和使用其中的策略。本书中的策略大致可分为均值回归系统和动量系统两大类。书中不仅介绍了如何使用每种类别的交易策略，更解释了各种策略之所以有效的原因。本书始终以简单、线性的交易策略为重心，因为复杂的交易策略容易受到过度拟合及数据窥探的侵害。数学和软件是算法交易的两条腿。本书用到了一定程度的数学知识，使其对各种金融概念的讨论更加清晰准确。另外，书中还加入了很多使用MATLAB代码编程的说明性示例，这些示例可以在本书的网站上下载。总体而言，本书涉及的主要内容包括：

The story of billionaire trader Steven Cohen, the rise and fall of his hedge fund SAC Capital, and the largest insider trading investigation in history for readers of The Big Short, Den of Thieves, and Dark Money

Steven A. Cohen changed Wall Street. He and his fellow pioneers of the hedge fund industry didn't lay railroads, build factories, or invent new technologies. Rather, they made their billions through speculation, by placing bets in the market that turned out to be right more often than wrong and for this, they gained not only extreme personal wealth but formidable influence throughout society. Hedge funds now oversee more than $3 trillion in assets, and the competition between them is so fierce that traders will do whatever they can to get an edge.

Cohen was one of the industry's biggest success stories, the person everyone else in the business wanted to be. Born into a middle-class family on Long Island, he longed from an early age to be a star on Wall Street. He mastered poker in high school, went off to Wharton, and in 1992 launched the hedge fund SAC Capital, which he built into a $15 billion empire, almost entirely on the basis of his wizard like stock trading. He cultivated an air of mystery, reclusiveness, and excess, building a 35,000-square-foot mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, flying to work by helicopter, and amassing one of the largest private art collections in the world. On Wall Street, Cohen was revered as a genius: one of the greatest traders who ever lived.

That image was shattered when SAC Capital became the target of a sprawling, seven-year investigation, led by a determined group of FBI agents, prosecutors, and SEC enforcement attorneys. Labeled by prosecutors as a magnet for market cheaters whose culture encouraged the relentless pursuit of edge and even black edge, which is inside information SAC Capital was ultimately indicted and pleaded guilty to charges of securities and wire fraud in connection with a vast insider trading scheme, even as Cohen himself was never charged.

Black Edge offers a revelatory look at the gray zone in which so much of Wall Street functions. It's a riveting, true-life legal thriller that takes readers inside the government's pursuit of Cohen and his employees, and raises urgent and troubling questions about the power and wealth of those who sit at the pinnacle of modern Wall Street.
