This book offers a simple yet powerful framework for making important lifetime financial decisions in a systematic and rational way. It's for readers with a baseline level of financial literacy, but doesn't require a PhD. It fills the gap between personal finance books and academic literature, bringing the valuable insights of academic finance to non-specialists.
You will learn about the theory of optimal investment sizing from first principles. These ideas will then be extended to problems in lifetime financial decision-making, with emphasis on the integration of investment, saving and spending decisions. Throughout, attention will be paid to practical implementation details, including how to calibrate your personal level of risk-aversion, and how to estimate the expected return and risk on a broad spectrum of investments. Finally, you will see how a series of fascinating financial puzzles can be unlocked with the new framework and tools that have been acquired.
The book is packed with case studies and anecdotes, including one about Victor's investment with LTCM as a partner, and a bonus chapter on Liar's Poker. The authors draw extensively on their own experiences as principals of Elm Wealth, a multi-billion-dollar wealth management practice, and prior to that on their years as quantitative researchers and arbitrage traders.
Whether you are young and building wealth, an entrepreneur invested heavily in your own business, or at a stage where your primary focus is investing and spending, The Missing Billionaires: A Guide to Better Financial Decisions is your must-have resource for thoughtful financial decision-making.
