Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Money Mavericks
Lars Kroijer · 2012
76/100
👍 Worth It
A hedge fund manager's honest, often humbling account of building and eventually winding down his own fund — and why he thinks most of us are better off in plain index funds anyway. It's candid, well-written, and doesn't oversell itself. A smart pick if you enjoy memoirs with real financial substance behind them.
