Risk Premia Over Time: BVR/Duff & Phelps Picking Up Where Morningstar Has Left Off?

ibartman
edited August 2014 in The OT Bullpen
With Morningstar's departure from the valuation-related publication market (see
Duff & Phelps 2014 Valuation Handbook Powerpoint and Duff & Phelps 2014Q1 Update), it seems that Morningstar will no longer be providing the comprehensive annual valuation updates that it (as Ibbotson) had in the past. [*]

In other words, it seems as if books such as this will no longer be available from Morningstar.

Perhaps to draw attention to their similar product , BVR/Duff & Phelps is providing a portion of their Risk Premia Report 2013, in the form of a 124 page excerpt that contains much of the discussion (but no data) which is in the complete report that they sell.

Nevertheless, I imagine that wonky readers (i.e., those that have gotten this far in the post) may find the abbreviated excerpt interesting. See links above.

PS: The page referenced in the "BVR/Duff & Phelps" reference above contains a link to a Q&A that may also be of interest.

[*] Note: Kind of a peculiar decision, no?
