Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Investing Demystified

76/100
👍 Worth It
A former hedge fund manager makes the case that most of us have no real edge over the market, so keep it simple: a bond fund plus a world equity tracker, done. It's part of the respected Financial Times book series, praised for working well for readers anywhere in the world rather than just the US or UK, and it comes with a companion video series. You'll get more out of it if you already know basic finance terms, but it's a genuinely worthwhile, no-nonsense read.
