Mastering the Art of Asset Allocation5 reviews
CFA, David M. Darst

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Darst Hits the Mark........Again

+ Eloquent

Following a "definitive" hand book on a topic as complex as asset allocation is not easy, but Darst has done it again. "Mastering" takes his work from the first book to the next level. Concise yet thorough, this book is a must for anyone who is trying to "master" the topic. JMM, Chicago
