    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The author attended his first big investment conference and heard a prominent hedge fund manager predict that low-cost, systematic investment strategies would become available to the public. This would lead to a sea change in the investment management industry.

    #2 The author was a finance rookie, and could not understand why experienced investors would not be excited about the accessibility of better investment strategies at a cheaper price. He realized that in the financial services industry, everything is about signaling.

    #3 The author’s friend was a successful fund manager who was invited to speak at a top business school. His advice to the students was to follow the herd, invest in the hottest mutual funds, and ignore the advice of the professor who said to buck the trend.

    #4 While it is important to distinguish between individual and institutional investors, the most important distinction in the investment world does not separate these two groups; it separates those that have the ability to make high-quality active management decisions from those without active management expertise.
