Customer Review: If I could only read one book on investments this would be it
This book clearly and concisely explains modern portfolio theory and how to apply it to your specific case. The chapters are short, which is great, since it allows you to focus and digest the material. There is plenty of supporting material and rationale on why this strategy has worked in the past and should continue to work in the future. The author puts forth a great argument for implementing a modern portfolio that can be tailored toward an individual’s taste. You can select a portfolio that consists of only 4 mutual funds or portfolios with 20+ funds. The emphasis is on index fund investing which drastically reduces your operating expenses. The material provided is immediately actionable, the author tells you the exact funds that can be used to construct your portfolio.
I have read dozens of books on personal finance and investing. I am positive if I had read this book first and implemented its ideas from the start of my investing career (20+ years)I’d be better off financially today. I consider myself a successful investor as is, but this book would have significantly increased my portfolio’s performance.
Customer Review: Lives Up To It’s Name
This book absolutely lives up to it’s name. In only 100 well-written pages it clearly presents the proven facts about how to invest in order to optimally decrease risk and increase return. I have a Master’s degree in Financial Economics and it took me years to appreciate this important information. Every investor should read this short book. If you follow its guidance, then you too will be able to retire earlier and sleep better.
