MCGRAW-HILL TO PUBLISH
DAVID SPAULDING'S NEW BOOK
First industry book on performance attribution due
by end of 2002
Somerset, NJ – March 1, 2002. The Spaulding Group,
Inc. (TSG) announced today that McGraw-Hill
will publish David Spaulding's new book on performance attribution.
Tentatively titled Investment Performance Attribution, with
a subtitle "A guide to what it is, how to calculate it and how to
use it." The book is expected to be published by year-end.
This will be the investment industry's first book on this increasingly
important topic. Performance attribution involves ascertaining the
sources of a portfolio manager's performance.
McGraw-Hill published Dave Spaulding's first book, Measuring
Investment Performance, which was published in 1997 and recently
translated into Japanese.
"I'm obviously quite pleased that McGraw-Hill has once again expressed
interest to publish my work. As was the case with investment performance
measurement in general, there is a need for a reference book for performance
measurement professionals. I'm hopeful that this will become such
a reference" said Dave Spaulding, TSG's president.
