Investing Demystified

If you only read one book on how to manage your investments, read this one. Benjamin Pritchett-Brown, Investment & Pensions Europe

YOU CAN'T BEAT THE MARKETS, BUT YOU CAN INVEST BETTER.

Dont spend your time worrying whether you can beat the markets: you dont need to beat them to be a successful investor. The vast majority of investors are overwhelmingly unlikely to outperform the financial markets themselves, or pick the one out of ten investment funds that can do so over a ten year period. Based on this premise, Investing Demystified shows you build a simple, diversified, and low cost portfolio suited to your risk level that will help you generate superior returns.

With his straightforward and jargon-free advice, Lars Kroijer simplifies the often complex world of finance and tells you everything you need to know and everything that you dont need to worry about in order to make the most from your investments.

In Investing Demystified you will:

  Discover the mix of stocks, bonds and cash needed for a top performing portfolio

  Understand the right level of risk for you and how this affects your investments

  Recognise and embrace that you probably cant beat the markets

  Find out why a low cost approach will yield benefits whilst leaving you with a higher quality portfolio

  Understand why you should steer clear of individual stocks and actively managed investment funds
