From the Inside Flap

Today's investor faces a challenging environment like none before. The factors that affect financial markets are evolving rapidly, and the changes may surprise unprepared investors with investment performance that is below the average of recent decades. The evolution of the financial markets has created an environment in which adaptation and innovation are the essential traits for meeting the challenges of this new era.

Market Evolution provides you with a foundation of knowledge and tools that, when combined with its specific insights and suggestions, will help you to create an entirely new and market-driven portfolio necessary to profit in the new market environment. Written by Jeffrey Kleintop, a leading investment strategist pegged by the Wall Street Journal as one of "Wall Street's best and brightest," this book's proactive approach to exploiting profitable opportunities and managing risk in the coming decade reveals:

* Why dividends are replacing earnings as the primary driver of stock returns

* How the change in the direction of interest rates, the drivers of earnings growth, and the baby boomer impact on the workforce and savings are transforming the markets—and what you can do to profit from that transformation

* Six asset allocations, using traditional assets, that provide the full spectrum of long-term risk and return objectives

* How to incorporate alternative investments such as hedge funds and private equity into a portfolio of traditional assets

* A technique for redefining asset-class style, from the traditional growth and value bases to defenive (high quality) and cyclical (low quality)

* Strategies for successfully combining active investing with ETFs, index funds, and other passive investments

* Web sites and resources that contain updated tactical asset allocation data with guidelines on interpreting the numbers

Financial markets are undergoing an evolutionary shift away from the patterns of the past, and your investment strategies must be able to adapt to this fluid and challenging environment. But instead of rigid, cookie-cutter approaches, what will work in the future is an adaptive approach to managing risk that combines in-depth analysis and modeling with hands-on experience and judgment.

Market Evolution provides you with just such an approach, detailing where we have been, where we are headed, and what you must do to realize the greatest asset growth from now through 2015. This straightforward guide integrates an adaptive, market-based framework for portfolio construction with a heightened degree of tactical adjustment, to help you effectively see and manage risk, uncover and exploit opportunities, and successfully achieve your long-term financial goals.
