Finding Alpha: The Big Saturday Interview with Author and Economist Eric Falkenstein

You are only moments away from our Big Saturday Interview with economist Eric Falkenstein, author of Finding Alpha: The Search for Alpha When Risk and Return Break Down (Wiley Finance).

In his new book and in our Big Saturday Interview conversation, Eric Falkenstein explains the ways that academics and financial professionals have tried to measure and manage risk, pointing out how many currently used approaches still fall short of both goals. In doing so, he points to a different way of looking at risk and the search for alpha, the "value-added" that separates benchmark performance (or worse) from true outperformance.
