The Fundamental Index examines a new approach to indexing that
can overcome the structural return drag created by traditional
capitalization-based indexing strategies, and in so doing, enhance the
performance of your portfolio. Throughout this book, Robert Arnott and
his colleagues outline this breakthrough strategy and explain how it
can be used to improve investment returns, typically at lower risk and
lower cost than most conventional investments.
