John C. Bogle shares his extensive insights on investing in
mutual funds
Since the first edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds
was published in 1999, much has changed, and no one is more aware
of this than mutual fund pioneer John Bogle. Now, in this
completely updated Second Edition, Bogle returns to take
another critical look at the mutual fund industry and help
investors navigate their way through the staggering array of
investment alternatives that are available to them.
Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this reliable
resource examines the fundamentals of mutual fund investing in
today’s turbulent market environment and offers timeless advice in
building an investment portfolio. Along the way, Bogle shows you
how simplicity and common sense invariably trump costly complexity,
and how a low cost, broadly diversified portfolio is virtually
assured of outperforming the vast majority of Wall Street
professionals over the long-term.
* Written by respected mutual fund industry legend John C.
Bogle
* Discusses the timeless fundamentals of investing that apply in
any type of market
* Reflects on the structural and regulatory changes in the mutual
fund industry
* Other titles by Bogle: The Little Book of Common Sense
Investing and Enough.
Securing your financial future has never seemed more difficult,
but you’ll be a better investor for having read the Second
Edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds.
