An Interview with Carl Bacon

Carl Bacon of Confluence joins us for Episode 3 and discusses the 3rd edition of his book, Practical Portfolio Performance Measurement and Attribution (Wiley, 2022). He goes over some of the changes and additions that readers can expect to see in this edition, including a new, massive chapter on attribution and an expanded chapter on risk. The book also features a section on the asset management industry and covers the GIPS® 2020 revisions. He talks about his preference for geometric attribution, his love of space opera, and tells us about his favorite football team, the New England Patriots, and how he became a fan.
