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 2001-02-02)

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.

I bought this book around the same time that I also bought Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street and Tim Hale's Smarter Investing: Simpler Decisions for Better Results (both of which I would rate higher). Time Hale's book is essential from a UK perspective and worth buying before this one. However, The Intelligent Asset Allocator is complementary to these books and helps your understanding of the whole allocation topic. I would recommend this book but, as i say, read a couple of the other books as well.
