Title: Disappointing effort on an interesting topic
Product review: Not knowing much about separately managed accounts (SMAs), I got this book to shore up my knowledge. I was not at all satisfied with it. Its central points about the advantages of SMAs over mutual funds could have been made in 20 to 30 pages at the most. However, the author stretches out the main text (not counting appendixes) to 220 pages by repeating himself over and over ad nauseam. I hate to slam an author, but I was actually insulted that Wilkinson wasted my time by putting out such an inferior product. His publisher (Dearborn Trade Publishing) should be ashamed as well. It's time people involved with publishing books on the financial markets take their mission a little more seriously and stop producing such dreck.
