In The Case for the Cautious Use of Leverage published in the Spring 2017 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management , Wei Ge of Parametric Portfolio Associates shows how leverage can be a useful financial tool when used appropriately. The judicious use of leverage may be especially helpful for institutional investors, especially in today{\textquoteright}s environment of diminished growth expectations and ultra-low interest rates. Ge takes an in-depth look at the mechanisms of leverage, and provides examples on how to use leverage effectively without incurring significant unexpected risks. He spoke with Institutional Investor Journals about his work and the implications for investors in the current market environment.}, issn = {2329-0196}, URL = {https://pa.pm-research.com/content/5/2/1.6}, eprint = {https://pa.pm-research.com/content/5/2/1.6.full.pdf}, journal = {Practical Applications} }
