Review: A summary of the high priest of Index Funds main message! - This book is 605 pages long! Way too long for what the author is advocating which I am going to give you a breakdown: 1) In the short term, stocks are more volatile than bonds but produce a greater return in the long term 2) A younger investor with a longer investing outlook should allocate more of their capital in common stocks and less in bonds but the reverse for an older investor with shorter time outlook. 3) The likelihood of active investing in producing consistent returns is poor for the long-term as few managers have consistently outperformed the market. 4) An index fund is the surest way to capture returns from the whole market 5) Go for an index fund that has the lowest cost and lowest turnover to maximise returns for the investor 6) Make sure the index represents the whole market and has a cap on how much funding it is open too. 7) Use these principles to invest in both bonds and index funds 8) Take home message the lowest cost fund with the lowest turnover produces the best result in the long term. For the message, I give the book 5 Stars! Review: It's really good if you like a lot of technical detail - I thought this was a newer version of The Little Book of Common Sense Investing but it wasn't. It's really good if you like a lot of technical detail. If you like it nice, simple and entertaining then the Little Book is better. The message is the same in both books and a very powerful one. Fund managers cannot beat the market over time and will seriously deplete your investment pot while failing to deliver on the promise that they can. Why pay them all that money in Annual Management Charges for doing worse than a low cost index fund that passively tracks an index? Like the S&P500? I worked out that had my pension been in this kind of fund from 2008, rather than a big brand company, my 'pot' would be 25% bigger now. I found both books liberating and infuriating at the same time! If only I'd found them 12 years ago! Act now.
