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

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, BusinessWeek

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 website. 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.

Better than other asset allocation books I have read... 30 Jan 2006

By Francis Kheng

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.

A good book to start with 4 Nov 2005

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

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.

A Fine Book 11 Mar 2012

By Cass

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.

Dividing your portfolio between assets with uncorrelated results increases return while decreasing risk. &quote;

In general, however, you will not go far wrong by sticking to bond maturities of six months to five years for the risk-diluting portion of your portfolio. &quote;

In practical terms, this means rebalancing no more than once per year. &quote;
