Customer Reviews

Very good book

As an investment advisor, I often search for books (for my clients) that help explain the ins and outs of some particular aspect of investing. This past Christmas I purchased a dozen copies of this book and distributed them as gifts. From the feedback received, this book was well received. I selected the book for it's topic, asset allocation. Personally, I enjoyed the book and recommend it when people are looking for more help on understanding asset allocation. Other good books on the subject include Getting Started in Asset Allocation and the Intelligent Asset Allocator.
