Delivering Alpha
Delivering Alpha is the work of Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg, a former World Bank executive and renowned investor. As risk-adjusted returns above benchmarks―alpha―are particularly challenging to achieve even with a sound strategy, the author provides a detailed roadmap to adding consistent, sustainable value to globally diversified portfolios. Ochoa-Brillembourg explains how timing, market awareness, price, and relative value are critical drivers for investors, while also revealing principles and methods employed in her own investment strategies. Delivering Alpha also deals with governance challenges, building the right policy portfolio, specifying desired allocations to each asset class, and managing risks while avoiding common mistakes.
