Product Description

William Bernstein is one of today's most unlikely financial heroes. A practicing neurologist, he used his self-taught investment knowledge and research to build a popular investor's Web site. Now, in the plain-spoken The Intelligent Asset Allocator, he shows independent investors how to build a diversified portfolio without the help of a financial advisor. A breath of fresh air for investors tired of overly technical investment tomes, this book will help investors:

  • Learn the risk/reward characteristics of various investment types
  • Understand and apply portfolio theory for an improved risk/reward ratio
  • Sharpen their focus and take control of their investment programs

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 wish I had read this advice 50 years ago! Good basic stuff, but some of the info is biased towards the USA.
