Invertir es sobre todo sentido común. Y el sentido común nos dice que la estrategia de inversión más simple y eficiente es poseer todos los activos del país que cotizan en bolsa a un coste muy bajo. De este modo te aseguras ganar la parte correspondiente de los beneficios que las empresas generen. La mejor manera de implementar esta estrategia es basta con adquirir un fondo que invierta en esta cartera y mantenerlo para siempre.
A este tipo de fondos se les conoce como fondos indexados y son simplemente una cesta (cartera) en la que hay muchos huevos (acciones) diseñados para replicar el rendimiento general de cualquier mercado financiero o sector del mercado. Los fondos indexados clásicos representan básicamente la cesta de acciones del mercado en su totalidad y eliminan el riesgo de las acciones individuales, el de los sectores de mercado y el de la elección del gestor. Tan solo permanece el riesgo de mercado.
Para aprender cómo la inversión indexada puede trabajar para ti, no hay mejor mentor que el legendario veterano de la industria de los fondos de inversión y creador del primer fondo indexado del mundo, John C. Bogle. En el transcurso de su larga carrera ha ayudado a sus clientes a construir un patrimonio sólido y eficaz y, ahora, quiere ayudarte a ti también.

Investing is all about common sense. Owning a diversified portfolio of stocks and holding it for the long term is a winner's game. Trying to beat the stock market is theoretically a zero-sum game (for every winner, there must be a loser), and after the substantial costs of investing are deducted, it becomes a loser's game. Common sense tells us—and history confirms—that the simplest and most efficient investment strategy is to buy and hold all of the nation's publicly held businesses at very low cost. The classic index fund that owns this market portfolio is the only investment that guarantees you with your fair share of stock market returns.
To learn how to make index investing work for you, there's no better mentor than legendary mutual fund industry veteran John C. Bogle. Over the course of his long career, Bogle—founder of the Vanguard Group and creator of the world's first index mutual fund—has relied primarily on index investing to help Vanguard's clients build substantial wealth. Now, with The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, he wants to help you do the same.
Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing will show you how to incorporate this proven investment strategy into your portfolio. It will also change the very way you think about investing. Successful investing is not easy—it requires discipline and patience. But it is simple, for it's all about common sense.
With The Little Book of Common Sense Investing as your guide, you'll discover how to make investing a winner's game:
You'll also find warnings about investment fads and fashions, including the recent stampede into exchange traded funds and the rise of indexing gimmickry. The real formula for investment success is to own the entire market, while significantly minimizing the costs of financial intermediation. That's what index investing is all about. And that's what this book is all about.
Praise for The Little Book of Common Sense Investing

—Warren E. Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
