Book description
A practical guide to passive investing
Time and again, individual investors discover, all too late, that
actively picking stocks is a loser's game. The alternative lies with
index funds. This passive form of investing allows you to participate
in the markets relatively cheaply while prospering all the more
because the money saved on investment expenses stays in your pocket.
In his latest book, investment expert Richard Ferri shows you how
easy and accessible index investing is. Along the way, he highlights
how successful you can be by using this passive approach to allocate
funds to stocks, bonds, and other prudent asset classes.
- Addresses the advantages of index funds over portfolios that are
actively managed
- Offers insights on index-based funds that provide exposure to
designated broad markets and don't make bets on individual securities
- Ferri is also author of the Wiley title: The ETF Book and
co-author of The Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning
If you're looking for a productive investment approach that won't
take all of your time to implement, then The Power of Passive
Investing is the book you need to read.
