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.
