Ben Graham Was a Quant: Raising the IQ of the Intelligent Investor (Wiley Finance) Review
This is a quite useful book for any fundamental-based investor who also wants to have some quantitative discipline.The book uses Ben Graham's screen described in Intelligent Investor as an example, walks through the steps to select and test factors, build factor models and finally construct portfolio from the model.
What makes the book especially useful is that it does not go into detailed math - there isn't intimidating calculus formula you see in every other quant theory books - but it does cover all important quant topics. It explains concepts in such an intuitive way and the flow is so natural that you'd think "yep this makes sense" or "oh that is a good insight". I've never felt this way reading a quant books.
I finished the book in one day with a rudimentary understanding of what quantitative portfolio management involves, how my fundamental idea may fit in and how to use some of the quant discoveries to refine my idea. It was almost a page turner. Good job.
