Andrew Rudd and Stephen Satchell

Andrew Rudd is Chairman and CEO of Advisor Software, Inc., which he founded in 1995 to deliver analytics to the retail financial services global market.  He is an expert in asset allocation, modern portfolio theory, risk management and performance measurement. Andrew is also a co-founder and former chairman and CEO of Barra, Inc. where he served as CEO from 1984 to 1999.  Under his guidance Barra developed risk management technologies, investment portfolio analysis methods, trading technologies and a vision for the modern management of large pools of assets that have subsequently become the professional standard on a global basis. He is the co-author of two industry-leading books on institutional investing, Modern Portfolio Theory: The Principles of Investment Management and Option Pricing.  Andrew was also Professor of Finance and Operations Research at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.  In addition he has written numerous journal articles and research papers on a wide range of domestic and international investment practices and theories.  Andrew received his BSc degree with honours in Mathematics and Physics from Sussex University in England and earned an MSc in Operations Research, an MBA in Finance and International Business, and a PhD in Finance and Operations Research from the University of California, Berkeley. He also serves as a Trustee of the University of California, Berkeley Foundation and is a member of the Investment Committee of the University of Massachusetts Foundation.

Stephen Satchell was born in New Zealand but has spent his working life in Great Britain; a great deal of it at the University of Cambridge, where he recently retired from his post as the Reader in Financial Econometrics. He focuses on both empirical and theoretical aspects of econometrics, finance, risk measurement and utility theory. His very strong econometric techniques knowledge has proved invaluable for his links with financial institutions.Stephen is a Professor in the Discipline of Finance at Sydney University, a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a visiting academic at Royal Holloway College, University of London. He holds two PhDs (Cambridge and London), an MComm (UNSW), an MSc (Sydney) and an MA (Cambridge). He is an Honorary Actuary and senior editor of three journals. He speaks frequently at practitioner conferences globally and locally

He has refereed widely in academic journals and has affiliations with professional bodies in finance. He has published extensively in varied areas of finance, including equity return and risk models, style rotation, asset allocation, trading rules, volatility, option prices, exchange rates, and property markets. He has published in excess of 200 publications, mainly refereed, and edited ten books. His interest in quant and high net worth grew out of his working life as a financial consultant and academic advisor to a range of more traditional wealth managers whom he has shepherded through the interesting transition period, greatly contextualised by the global financial crisis. The Chinese blessing “May you live in interesting times” seems highly appropriate to the time leading up to the joint creation of this book.
