Review: Amazing! - AMAZING - Advanced, but really opens your eyes to thinking differently. Review: Unexpected Insights from a highly respected Expert ! - The author Antti Ilmanen has completed a truly monumental task - compiling his knowledge about return expectations from years as a highly respected investment strategist on Wall Street with his expert knowledge of academic finance research. After starting at the Finnish Central Bank as a fixed income fund mamanger and asset allocation professional, he fulfilled his desire to pursue finance research full time with a PhD in Finance at the University Chicago's GSB. Having published his PhD thesis in the Journal of Finance, he joined Salomon Brothers as a global fixed income strategist at first in New York and subsequently in both London & Frankfurt. He is currently at a well-known major hedge fund in London. Despite his passion for the Chicago brand of finance, he has never lost sight of his conviction that asset returns vary through time, not the least because expected returns are changing when passing through the stages of business cycles - which makes them partially predictable. Therefore, rather than engaging in a windmill fight about efficient markets, he has strived to understand what economic forces are driving these changes, and with what kind of strategies that knowledge can be utilized to manage money. His brand new book is the result of that long and very succesful pursuit. The foreword by AQR's Cliff Asness will give you also some humorous aspects of Antti's passion to improve his and our knowledge as I could never convey it. And I agree with Cliff that it is your loss, if you don't take the time to read this book, especially if you are interested in a broad spectrum of asset classes to invest in: the author goes beyond global bonds and equities to include commodities, private equity, hedge funds and real estate. The book is now available in the US, and I am recommending it highly! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #67,543 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Business Investments #120 in Investment Analysis & Strategy #219 in Finance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 155 Reviews | ## Images ![Expected Returns: An Investor's Guide to Harvesting Market Rewards (The Wiley Finance Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bQzjllBVS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by J***0 on April 26, 2026* AMAZING - Advanced, but really opens your eyes to thinking differently. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpected Insights from a highly respected Expert ! *by R***T on April 16, 2011* The author Antti Ilmanen has completed a truly monumental task - compiling his knowledge about return expectations from years as a highly respected investment strategist on Wall Street with his expert knowledge of academic finance research.

Ilmanen starts with a review yet very practicioner oriented review of credit risk, bond risk, and equity risk premia before delving into detailed yet readable analyses of return strategies, why they work, how their success is dependent upon states of the world (ie, carry trading has a great sharpe but doesn't help you in a leverage unwind when your equity book is blowing up to) and how blending these strategies and approaches can materially improve returns and more importantly, reduce risk. It is this overlay of styles, asset classes and risk factors creating a multidimensional approach to sources of returns and risk that makes it truly unique. I say all this as someone who does equities/credit/EM for a living and thus isn't a career systematic macro trader. For people like me this book is invaluable because it allows a more nuanced view of risk factors and sources of returns in an alpha oriented book that can easily become quite concentrated in ways that are not obvious at first. There is so much more to delve into with regards to integrating this into my work but suffice to say it is a small price to pay to learn some of the nuts and bolts of what allows Brevan Howard to manage risk so well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5498886-expected-returns-an-investors-guide-to-harvesting-market-rewards-wiley](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5498886-expected-returns-an-investors-guide-to-harvesting-market-rewards-wiley) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
