Customer Reviews

You can find precious information nowhere else but in this book

This book used question and answer format to record interview with top fund managers. It helped me enormously with selecting the mutual fund managers and provided me confidence on the funds that I selected, because I can tell from their answers whether their super performance can be sustainable or just due to pure luck. The interview questions are well designed and such question and answer format is very precise and hit the points, efficiently conveying essential information to the reader. I can negative easily to the questions and answers that I most interested in. As an average mutual fund investor, who would want to read another textbook-like stock picking book full of charts and numbers? The top fund managers are very busy person and they probably won't write books about their stock picking methods and philosophy until they retire (like Peter Lynch), so I appreciate they can accept interview with the authors. Therefore, the information covered in this book are very valuable and not otherwise available. This book filled the blank in selecting mutual funds and managers. However, as one drawback, many questions and answers are very time-sensitive. I can tell that the book was compiled and written in a very short time. I doubt the book would still be popular in a couple of years. In addition, the book didn't cover income fund managers.

Puts All The Strategies In One Book

I found this book to be an excellent overview of how top managers make money across a variety of investment strategies. The author does a great job of getting some of the world's leading managers to reveal exactly how they pick stocks and bonds and outperform the market over time. I discovered many useful tips that I will be able to put to work right away. Highly recommended for all serious investors.
