All those with a stake in building pension wealth will profit from this common-sense, and clearly readable, guide to improved pension fund performance."--Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, and Chemical Bank Chairman's Professor of Economics, Princeton University "This is not just another book of theory about how pension funds should be managed, or about how one expert thinks an appropriate asset allocation should be determined ... There is keen analysis by Messrs. Ambachtsheer and Ezra, both of whom are veteran pension consultants noted for thinking outside the box."--Michael J.
