Daniel Broby's Book

A Guide to Equity Index Construction Equity indexes out-perform the majority of active fund management strategies. Not only will this book teach the reader to construct an optimal index, but it will also assist fund managers to 'know their enemy'.

Index construction is an important scientific process. There are now estimated to be €14 trillion of equities under professional management, and theory suggests that these funds should have an appropriate benchmark in order to match assets and liabilities.

A Guide to Equity Index Construction presents readers with an independent explanation of the processes of methodical index construction. It also addresses the inefficiencies in the construction process that could potentially be exploited by active managers, or those wishing to refine the process, in order to create better indexes in the future.
