Phil Huber has created a clear roadmap for investing for the next decade?his book is that rare combination of insightful and entertaining.Matt Kadnar, Partner and Portfolio Manager, GMO
Do you think stocks are expensive? Do you shudder at bond yields? If you’re nodding your head, then this book is for you. In The Allocator’s Edge, Phil Huber unpacks the misunderstandings and misconceptions that often accompany alternative investments. From private equity and hedge funds to catastrophe bonds and non-traditional lending, Huber explains alternative strategies in a way that can teach a financial professional and also make sense to the layman.Michael Batnick, Director of Research at Ritholtz Wealth Management and co-host of the Animal Spirits podcast
The Allocator’s Edge really hits the mark as a primer in understanding why alternatives are important and sets a solid foundation for how to incorporate non-traditional exposures in portfolios. I would certainly recommend this to analysts, financial advisors, or other investors looking to be more conversant and comfortable with this third bucket?one I believe will be critical to delivering clients’ desired outcomes over the next decade.Shannon Saccocia, Chief Investment Officer of Boston Private Wealth
Phil has a breadth of knowledge across investing that I'm envious of. I can’t believe how much this book covers, and how high quality the analysis across each section is. If I were a financial advisor or institutional allocator seeking to expand my knowledge of alternative investments, this is the book I'd pick up first.Ali Hamed, co-founder and General Partner at CoVenture
