This four-volume handbook covers important concepts and tools used in the fields of financial econometrics, mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. Econometric methods have been applied in asset pricing, corporate finance, international finance, options and futures, risk management, and in stress testing for financial institutions. This handbook discusses a variety of econometric methods, including single equation multiple regression, simultaneous equation regression, and panel data analysis, among others. It also covers statistical distributions, such as the binomial and log normal distributions, in light of their applications to portfolio theory and asset management in addition to their use in research regarding options and futures contracts.In both theory and methodology, we need to rely upon mathematics, which includes linear algebra, geometry, differential equations, Stochastic differential equation (Ito calculus), optimization, constrained optimization, and others. These forms of mathematics have been used to derive capital market line, security market line (capital asset pricing model), option pricing model, portfolio analysis, and others.In recent times, an increased importance has been given to computer technology in financial research. Different computer languages and programming techniques are important tools for empirical research in finance. Hence, simulation, machine learning, big data, and financial payments are explored in this handbook.Led by Distinguished Professor Cheng Few Lee from Rutgers University, this multi-volume work integrates theoretical, methodological, and practical issues based on his years of academic and industry experience.

The primary objective of this book is to delve into how institutional and individual stock investors can evaluate portfolio performance through a typical assessment of the endowment fund of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria's premier university, as an institutional investor, over an evaluation period of five years, relative to a benchmark portfolio. This is in line with the modern portfolio theory of Harry Markowitz (1952), a Nobel Prize winner in 1990. The book begins with an introduction in chapter one. Chapter two is a synthesis of what constitutes the modern portfolio theory as well as of empirical evidence on the applications of the theory and the alternative theories subsequently developed. Chapter three reveals the techniques for evaluating portfolio performance while chapter four discusses about endowment funds in general. Chapter five presents the results of the application of the evaluation techniques. In conclusion, chapter six rounds up with the summary, recommendations and bibliography.
