There is a solution–a more intelligent way to invest in funds.
In The Intelligent Fund Investor, experienced portfolio manager and behavioural finance expert Joe Wiggins brings simplicity and clarity to fund investing. Each chapter of this fascinating and highly readable book focuses on a vital element of investing in funds–exploring how and why investors can get it badly wrong, and providing direct, actionable steps for better results.
Joe reveals: why we should avoid investing with star managers; how to decide between active and passive funds; why we should beware of smooth performance and captivating stories; why risk is far more than just volatility; the importance of a long time horizon; and much, much more. Using a combination of stories, empirical evidence and experience, Joe gives all fund investors–active and passive–what they need to reassess their beliefs, understand their biases, and make better investment decisions.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative read.

The Intelligent Fund Investor is an excellent book on the important and often misunderstood area of fund manager selection and research. Joe’s critical appraisal of important topics and helpful summaries at the end of each chapter are a must read for those working in the asset management sector.
by Simon Hallett
Joe’s book is easily read but has a wealth of sensible advice for all investors, but particularly those who save via funds. It’s free of the usual claptrap that tries to predict the future and, rather, focuses on how you can become a better investor.

A fantastic insight into life as a fund investor. For someone who does a similar role to Joe, it is great to gain a different perspective on fund selection, as we can too often remain tunneled within our own process. The book does not provide answers, but it does make you think!
by Rory Maguire
You can tell that the author has a strong background in both fund selection and investing. Besides being well written, the book is filled with very useful insights and original views. A must read.
