In Hidden Investment Treasures: How to Find Great Stock Investments as the Investment World Goes Passive, veteran portfolio manager and investor, Daniel Gladis, CFA, delivers an exciting and practical playbook for investors interested in capturing higher risk-adjusted returns in financial markets overwhelmingly dominated by passive money. Gladis offers real-world investment case studies that highlight how to take advantage of the growing inefficiency of financial markets that are increasingly populated by investors who focus on passively managed index funds. He explores useful analytic techniques and strategic reasoning you can deploy immediately to help you uncover underpriced securities that yield superior long-term results. Hidden Investment Treasures explains the parts of the market that passive money has failed to penetrate and how you can invest in those areas to great effect. It demonstrates where value silently lurks in sectors and firms that are superficially uninteresting, unpopular, complicated, or relatively small. The book also provides you with the metrics, tools, and perspectives you need to recognize when stocks are underpriced so you can benefit from the bargain. The author walks you through the effective and ineffective strategies that company managers use to create and destroy shareholder value. You'll learn about capital allocation techniques, acquisition strategies, and manager temperaments that bolster or impair the worth of companies, and how to accurately assess a company's likely performance based on those characteristics. Perfect for individual investors and finance professionals, Hidden Investment Treasures is a must-read for stock pickers, value investors, equity analysts, and wealth managers looking for long-term investment opportunities in contemporary financial markets.
