Customer Reviews
At this point, those with sense will start looking at ETFs as a way to build a diversified portfolio and achieve the maximum return relative to risk while also keeping the costs of their investments as low as possible.
If you are one of those people, buy this book now. It is probably the most well-written, comprehensive and balanced piece of work I have read on any topic. I am certainly no investment expert but found this book clearly written without the usual padding and with clear actionable advice for building your own ETF-based portfolio.
You almost certainly don't need to pay thousands of pounds to a financial advisor. This book may cost £20 but it is (literally) worth its weight in gold. Highly and unreservedly recommended
The ideal reader background is someone who shied away from managed funds and bought into cheap to run index trackers long ago, probably on a "buy and hold" strategy. He/she has now become both frustrated and concerned with the lack of diversity of trackers available to the UK investor.
Understanding that there is a now an easy to access bigger investment universe than developed world equities is essential, and this book is the background on how to be your own investment manager through ETFs, which became mainstream in the UK two years ago.
