John A. Haslem, professor emeritus of finance, is the author of a new, regular column in the Journal of Indexes entitled "The Professors Reading Room." The column provides a synopsis of recent research with implications for portfolio indexing. One of the first topics will be Smith School finance department Associate Professor Russ Wermers' very important bootstrapping analysis of mutual funds in the December 2006 issue of the Journal of Finance.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the major journal that brings vital topics to those global leaders engaged in product and market development related to index funds, exchange-traded funds, index derivatives, and sophisticated strategies using these investment vehicles, said Haslem.
