Course Description

(Scroll down to order.)
A Beacon Hill Course-in-a-Book® – courses based on industry books written specifically for financial advisors.

This course is based on the book Asset Allocation: Balancing Financial Risk, (4th Edition) by Roger Gibson, CFA, CFP® (the price of the course includes the book, which is mailed to you along with the exam materials).

In the new fourth edition (publ. 1/2008), Roger C. Gibson compiles new data that strengthen the case for the multiple-asset-class investing strategy that he has advocated since his landmark work was first published in 1990. Gibson's work unites theory and practice, the art and the science of asset allocation.

This book is written specifically for financial advisors. Learn how to apply historically tested asset allocation principles in your practice as outlined in this widely read book. Gibson explains how to design a long-term portfolio that actually has the potential to outperform its parts– while minimizing overall risks–no matter what the market environment.
