Description
The first quarter of the new century has seen developments in technology, monetary policy and the management of large companies that have transformed personal savings and investment around the world. Love it, loathe it, or just not interested in it, this innovation has changed not only the nature of money, but our understanding of what it means to invest - whether we want to safeguard our pensions, experiment with personal trading platforms or simply understand how the markets really work. How to Invest aims to help investors navigate this new world, offering a principles-based, keep-it-simple approach to help them make investment decisions and have investment conversations that will make the most of their money.
A new guide to personal investment for the era of cryptocurrencies and personal trading platforms

Reviews
Peter Stanyer and his colleagues have made an outstanding book even better. The authors have created an insightful survey of the current state of investing. Whatever your focus, there is something to enjoy in this new, up-to-date compendium -- Elroy Dimson, Co-author of The Triumph of the Optimists, Professor of Finance, Cambridge Judge Business School
In times of economic uncertainty, it's all too easy to follow the latest new thing in investing rather than sticking with the tried and true. Peter Stanyer and his co-authors continue to add value by encouraging us to look at the evidence of long-term performance. My firm's experience is that their approach results in happier investors -- Mark Ralphs, Founding Partner of the Financial Planning Corporation LLP
How the authors managed to get so much good information and advice into How To Invest is a mystery to me, but they did. Despite the time that many investors spend on issues such as return expectations, risk and timing, the authors remind us that a keep-it-simple focus is the key to an investment strategy that secures an investor's spending plans. If you only have one book in your investing library, make it this one -- Harold Evensky, founder of Evensky & Katz/ Foldes Wealth Management
