About this product
Product Information
Praise for Statistical Arbitrage "In this lucid, intelligent, and highly readable book, Andrew Pole presents the insights of an experienced and successful exponent of statistical arbitrage, with an uncommon mixture of flair, accessibility, and academic precision. Anyone with an interest professional or otherwise in what goes on inside the black boxes of mathematical trading strategies will enjoy the book." Nick Macleod, Head of Quantitative Research and Risk Management Ermitage Asset Management Jersey Limited "What a find! Andy Pole provides a remarkable look at the history and evolution of what is frequently considered to be the most opaque of the myriad hedge fund strategies. His detailed focus on and clever examples of the underlying drivers of stat arb are an invaluable resource for anyone investigating the strategy for the first time. Even we old-timers will learn something." Judith Posnikoff, PhD, Managing Director Pacific Alternative Asset Management Company "Andy Pole delivers a readable and comprehensive history of statistical arbitrage. Using real-life examples and accounts from his decades of experience, this book chronicles the rise in popularity of stat arb, explains its recent struggle for profitability, as well as provides novices with insights into the art and science of building their own models." Susan Kaderabek, Portfolio Manager, Franklin Street Partners "Statistical Arbitrage offers a rare glimpse of insights into the otherwise opaque world of short-term trading strategies. The book provides an excellent balance conceptualizing the mathematics of short-term technical trading strategies with more practical discussions on the recent performance of such strategies. Statistical arbitrage remains for many outsiders, including hedge fund professionals, a black box strategy. Andy Pole has managed to turn black into, if not white, then a lighter shade of gray." Christian Thygesen, Managing Director, Investcorp International Inc. "Andy Pole has extensive practical experience of statistical arbitrage trading together with an ability to explain the underlying theory with great clarity. This book is therefore highly recommended for those looking to master the subject matter." Bruce Lockwood, Financial Risk Management

Reviews
"Over time, anything that creates an edge for a particular group of bettors--including the most astute observers of horse flesh--gets factored into the odds and becomes unreliable as a system. That's the classic argument of random walk theorists, and the equally classic response is that there's a lot of money to be made before that factoring is complete. This book is a contribution to that never-ending debate." (Hedgeworld.com)

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
