In this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, author of the bestselling personal finance guide Unconventional Success, describes the investment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid and penetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management, illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fund management. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawn from his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handling risk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls.

Swensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially when describing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads to buying high and selling low. Trust is more important than flash-in-the-pan success. Expertise, fortitude, and the long view produce positive results where gimmicks and trend following do not.

The original Pioneering Portfolio Management outlined a commonsense template for structuring a well-diversified equity-oriented portfolio. This new edition provides fund managers and students of the market an up-to-date guide for actively managed investment portfolios.

Debt is a silent 'killer'. It has a way of gradually creeping into our lives until it finally takes over. It is absolutely no crime to want the good things of life but most times people enjoy these pleasures at the expense of their freedom and peace of mind.

Why You Should Buy This Book?

The book offers an insight into practical steps that can be taken to once again regain financial control. The author for instance, mentioned as a rule of thumb that the cost of your mortgage or rent should not be allowed to exceed 30 percent of your monthly income, whether it is individual income for single persons or combined income, for married people. This makes quite a lot of sense considering the fact that shelter takes the bulk of the income of most households. Just give this advice a try and see how much free funds you have left to play around with.

Also, this book encourages certain amount of money to be put aside each month as savings and explains the condition under which this should be done.

Most of the steps and advice are quite precise and concise, easy to read and understand.
