Books on Portfolio Management & Market Cycles

I’m looking to add to my collection of books and I’m specifically looking for a book or several books that covers investment portfolio management during a variety of different business/economic cycles. Something that talks at length about the various types of investment vehicles, their response during different market conditions etc. Can anyone recommend any? Thanks

I don’t know of any books that really address this directly. Tony Crescenzi, who is now at PIMCO wrote a book called “Investing from the Top Down: A macro approach to capital markets” that addresses this, but not in a head-on manner. It looks like there are some new asset allocation books on Amazon… some of them might take this approach.

Are you a member of CFAI? If so I think you get online access to FAJ. Some of the best PM research I’ve seen is written up there. It will certainly be fresher than most books’ treatments, with a higher likelihood of including thoughtful analysis of the 2008 crash.

@bchadwick I remember the name from our CFA study days :slight_smile: lol. Glad that’s all behind me… Haha I will check out the book you mentioned. @DarienHacker - I am in fact a member. Any particular articles or papers you can point me to? Thanks again… PJStyles

2 books by Ed Easterling: Unexpected Returns Probable Outcomes Deals with this specifically and has lots of cool charts. You can get them both on Amazon. Unexpected Returns is at Half Priced Books a lot in the DFW area so you can check there too.

@HighYielder - thanks… will definitely check them out.
