Product Description
Review
A practicing neurologist in remote coastal Oregon, Bernstein comes to the problems of saving and investing not from a broker's perspective, but as someone who had to figure this out himself, from first principles up. (Business Week )
Product Description
This book includes time-tested techniques - safe, simple, and proven effective - for building your own investment portfolio. "As its title suggest, Bill Bernstein's fine book honors the sensible principles of Benjamin Graham in the "Intelligent Investor". Bernstein's concepts are sound, his writing crystal clear, and his exposition is orderly. Any reader who takes the time and effort to understand his approach to the crucial subject of asset allocation will surely be rewarded with enhanced long-term returns." - John C. Bogle, Founder and former Chief Executive Officer, The Vanguard Group President, Bogle Financial Markets Research Center, Author of "Common Sense on Mutual Funds"."Bernstein has become a guru to a peculiarly '90s group: well-educated, Internet-powered people intent on investing well - and with minimal 'help' from professional Wall Street." - Robert Barker, Columnist, "BusinessWeek". "I go home and tell my wife sometimes, 'I wonder if (Bernstein) doesn't know more than me.' It's humbling." - John Rekenthaler, Research Chief, Morningstar Inc. William Bernstein is an unlikely financial hero. A practicing neurologist, he used his self-taught investment knowledge and research to build one of today's most respected investor's websites. Now, let his plain-spoken "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" show you how to use the time-honored techniques of asset allocation to build your own pathway to financial security - one that is easy-to-understand, easier-to-apply, and supported by 75 years of solid history and wealth-building results.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a kind of primer on asset allocation. I really appreciate William Bernstein's effort to simplify the theory of asset allocation. He makes a highly mathematical area a much easier read for the reader, by doing his best to omit a lot of mathematical input.
This book makes the case for index fund investing instead of mutual fund investing, as well as for buy-and-hold investing over the long run.
He also shows the reader how to allocate assets and how to make the decision about asset classes to invest in using easy to follow steps.
I only gave it 4 stars because I feel that more could be done to improve the presentation of the area of asset allocation to lay readers.

The book is very clear in content, relatively short and actually easy to read even for a person who is not a native speaker of the english language. From all the books of Bernstein, which I have read, this was the one which left the clearest view about the author's investing principles. The book also has some actual practical advice to give. I consider this book as one of the best to start with in the field of personal investing.
Format:Hardcover
I wish I had read this advice 50 years ago! Good basic stuff, but some of the info is biased towards the USA.
