“At a time when individuals will increasingly be responsible for the management of their own investment in retirement, no one should be without a common man’s guide to the most important principles of investment management. With Sectors and Styles, every investor now has the complete tool kit for managing his or her own retirement assets.”

“With twenty-five years’ experience in portfolio strategy with both a U.S. and global perspective, I find sector and style aspects to be crucial but often overlooked. Catalano does an admirable job of distilling the key issues. A good read for those with more than a passing interest in investing.”

Subodh Kumar, CFA, former Managing Director, CIBC World Markets

“With his decades of cutting-edge experience, Catalano has crafted an intelligent, well-reasoned, and easy-to-understand investment guide which no serious, active, knowledgeable investor should be without.”

“Sectors and Styles: A New Approach to Outperforming the Market”
is constructed in four parts:

Part 1 provides the foundation to Blue Marble Research’s research methodology and describes its key principles and practices, including Valuation’s Core Concepts, Investment Strategy concepts and principles, and the essential elements of an Effective Portfolio.

Part 2 describes GEM in action: the investment importance of the political process, a assessment of the global economy, and a description of technical analysis.

Part 3 describes the enabling power of two key 21st century technological tools – the PC and the Internet – and one product of financial innovation – Exchange Traded Funds.

Part 4 is where it all comes together. The combination of core valuation principles, key investment principles, GEM, and technological and financial innovative tools, is applied in the construction of effective portfolios for various investor risk profiles.
