The Four Pillars of Investing, Second Edition: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio by William J. Bernstein Pdf

The classic guide to constructing a solid portfolio―without a financial advisor! First published two decades ago, The Four Pillars of Investing has been the go-to resource for an entire generation of investors. This updated edition of the investing classic provides the foundational knowledge you need to avoid the most common pitfalls and build a portfolio in today’s roller-coaster world of investing. Retired neurologist and master investor William J. Bernstein has seen it all throughout his career. Buying investments with borrowed money. Chasing past performance. Overestimating one’s own risk tolerance. Listening to cable news. These are just a few of the many mistakes he has witnessed smart, serious investors make, to the peril of their portfolios. Add to these behavioral errors such economic factors as deflation, sudden stock declines, soaring inflation, and the like—and investing can seem like something to be avoided at all costs. But with the right discipline and knowledge, you can build and manage an impressive portfolio. It all comes down to understanding four key pillars: Theory: Risk and return go hand in hand—you can’t make money without risk History: Understand past markets to understand today’s markets Psychology: Avoid the most common behavioral mistakes that tank portfolios Business: The cost of investment services can be high—unreasonably high After taking you on a deep dive into each of these topics, Bernstein walks you through the process of designing and maintaining a powerful portfolio. Times have changed. Economies have changed. And markets are ever-changing. But sound investing principles haven’t changed. Use The Four Pillars of Investing to stay a step ahead of your investing peers and build a portfolio to be proud of.

The Incredible Shrinking Alpha 2nd edition by Andrew L. Berkin,Larry E. Swedroe Pdf

Active managers persistently lag the returns of benchmarks and index funds that track them, with the excuses for underperformance recycled every year. This comprehensive book is the antidote for the active managers’ siren song. If you understand the benefits of indexing, or systematic investing, it will reinforce your commitment while increasing your knowledge. If you don’t yet believe, Swedroe and Berkin provide a compelling case that you’re playing the loser’s game of active management. Alpha, or outperformance against appropriate risk-adjusted benchmarks, is shrinking as it gets converted into beta, or factor exposures. They demonstrate that even for the most talented managers, their ability to add value is waning because: the amount of alpha available is declining; it must be split among an increasing amount of investment dollars; and the competition is getting tougher. In this greatly expanded second edition, Swedroe and Berkin show you how to develop an investment plan that focuses on what risks to take, and how much of them, as well as how to build a diversified portfolio. They present a list of vehicles to consider when implementing your plan and provide guidance on the care and maintenance of your portfolio. As a bonus they add appendices that will make you a more informed and, therefore, better investor. This makes The Incredible Shrinking Alpha a complete guide to successful investment strategy.

The Foundations of Investing (2nd Edition) by Alexis Assadi Pdf

The Foundations of Investing (2nd Edition) was written to provide investors with a baseline from which they can make more informed, higher-impact decisions. This book explores structural corporate finance concepts that are critical to know before one can perform thorough due diligence. For example, many people understand investing in a general sense, such as "I will put money in this company, and I want it back with a profit." But what, exactly, are you purchasing when you make an investment? Why is the company offering an investment opportunity in the first place? Where is your money going (hint: it's often not to the company!)? The Foundations of Investing discusses key ideas, such as: - Public vs. private companies - Why some businesses pay dividends, while others don't - Investors' rights or lack thereof - Debt vs. equity investments - What "securities" are and why that matters - Investment funds

Simple But Not Easy, 2nd Edition by Richard Oldfield Pdf

Described by the author as “a slightly autobiographical and heavily biased book about investing”, Simple But Not Easy won fans among both professional and private investors alike when first released in 2007. The theme of the book is that investment is simpler than non-professionals think it is, in that the rudiments can be expressed in ordinary English and picked up by anybody. It is not a science. But investment is also difficult. People on the outside tend to think that anyone on the inside should be able to do better than the market indices. This is not so. Picking the managers who are likely to do better is a challenge. Richard Oldfield begins with a detailed confession of some of his worst mistakes and what they have taught him. He discusses the different types of investment, why fees matter, and the importance of measuring performance properly. He also outlines what to look for (and what not to look for) in an investment manager, when to fire a manager, and how to be a successful client. A cult classic for its candid confessions and sparkling wit, this extended edition of Simple But Not Easy – featuring a new author’s preface and a substantial afterword – remains an indispensable companion for all those interested in the rewarding but enigmatic pursuit of investing.

Investing with Anthony Bolton by Jonathan Davis Pdf

Who is the most successful investment manager in Britain? Arguments could rage forever, but no professional would dispute that Anthony Bolton of Fidelity is among the very best. £1,000 invested in his Special Situations fund at its launch in 1979 was worth more than £125,000 twenty seven years later. No other mainstream UK fund manager has put together such a consistently impressive performance over such a long period. The 125-fold increase represents an average compound growth rate of more than 20% per annum, or 7% per annum greater than the FTSE All-Share Index over the same period. This track record of sustained outperformance stands comparison with that of the greatest American investment superstars such as Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. For many years, until the fund was voluntarily split in 2006, Fidelity Special Situations was easily the largest and most popular fund in the UK. What are the secrets of Anthony Bolton's success? This important book, now fully revised and updated, takes an in-depth look at the way that Bolton goes about his business and analyses in detail the fund's outstanding performance. Anthony Bolton gives his own personal account of the history of the fund, explains why he believes his contrarian stockpicking methods have worked so well for so long and summarises the lessons he has learnt from his long and succesful career. This book is required reading for anyone with a personal or professional interest in investment. - Fully revised and updated second edition with 25 pages of new material and graphics. - The only full-length book to analyse in detail the strategies and techniques used by the UK's number one professional investor. - Detailed analysis of the performance of his funds and the lessons that investors can draw from its exceptional track record. - Written jointly by Anthony Bolton and one of the UK's best known financial authors, a leading authority on the fund management business.
