    I found chapter 13 especially useful as it contains 10year return forecasts for bonds and equities from one of the worlds leading asset allocators


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Index investors have always faced a dilemma they know that on average active investment management will underperform a capweighted index after allowing for fees


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Take a simple example this is my own not from the book


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is difficult to refute the books argument that a capweighted index has a direct structural link to any pricing error and since the true value of a stock is the net present value of decades of future cash flows which must be unknown there must be pricing errors

    It illustrates its points with examples we can all identify with and directly addresses the criticisms of its approach with a degree of humour

    While i wouldnt dare entering into a debate with any of the rather wellknown critics of the concepts i would propose that they all read the book carefully and contemplate the principle known as occams razor while doing so occams razor sometimes spelled ockhams razor is a principle attributed to the 14thcentury english logician and franciscan friar william of ockham


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory
