“Smarter Investing reflects the uncomplicated yet innovative approach to understanding investing that Tim adopts in his consulting and training work – unlike many, this book will make a difference to you.”

 

Cornelia Kiley, Former Managing Director, Head of Institutional Distribution, Columbia Management, Bank of America

"A long overdue tool in individual money management.  Like an in-depth, one-on-one meeting with an investment advisor, except in simple, logical terms.  Smarter Investing focuses on what truly matters: meeting your financial goals.”

  William G. Dessoffy, CFA, Regional Director, Private Banking, New York

“Professionals, with some justification, like to give the impression that investing is an extremely complex activity.  This book destroys that illusion and shows how reasonably intelligent individuals can adopt commonsense procedures to generate better returns.”

Ian Orton, Editor, TheWealthNET.com and Wealth Management

‘What should I do with my money?’ A simple enough question, you might think, but one with a bewildering array of complex – and often costly – answers. Many investors spend a lot of time trying,  yet failing, to beat the markets, and switching their investments from one ‘opportunity’ to the next. Many more end up paying other people – investment professionals – to try to beat the markets for them – yet the majority of them fail to deliver.  There is a smarter way, and it’s a simpler way. Smarter Investing introduces you to a simple and powerful set of rules for successful investing, helping you to build an investment portfolio that suits your needs, stays the course when markets get rough and quietly gets on with the job of generating  better results.

 

Whatever your investment goals, Tim Hale’s no-nonsense guide gives you the clear principles, simple techniques and the inside knowledge you need to achieve them.
