Get ready to change the way you invest. This disruptive book shows that most people–even wealthy investors–put their trust in a demonstrably inferior way to invest: actively managed funds and private portfolios. The better way is with index funds–but not just any index funds. Instead, this book will introduce you to the One-Decision funds, a type of index fund that market data show is the smartest way to invest. Youll also learn: ? The 4 basic rules for investment success ? Reasons to be wary of 14 other ways to invest ? How to eliminate 6 of the 8 kinds of investment risk ? 15 ways to minimize investment taxes ? 3 tax-advantaged ways to invest for college ? 10 ways to optimize your finances in retirement ? Why you can be confident about this way to invest Despite the clear superiority of indexing, about 65 percent of the money in mutual funds is still anchored in actively managed funds, with index funds holding only 35 percent. I hope this book will help to reverse those proportions.
