Customer Reviews
Excellent & Informative
Richard provides a detailed description of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and how it can be applied through the rebalancing of multiple asset classes of varying levels of correlation. He goes into depth on how each asset class operates, how they can be integrated into a portfolio, and which low cost index funds best represent these asset classes. Finally, he summarizes the importance of proper risk analysis.
A great foundation book
This book coupled with Rick Ferri’s Core-4 free website were of enormous value when deciding my asset allocation. The most useful book I’ve read on the subject!
Outstanding!!!
This book challenged me to put on my thinking cap and pay attention in order to fully grasp the material. If you want to learn how to allocate a portfolio and more importantly why to allocate it and stay the course in the correct way this is a must read. Thank you Rick Ferri!
