Portfolio management is about adding value, or Alpha -- the added return attributable to investment management. In a market averaging a 7% return over 40 years, $1 grows to nearly $15. Add an extra 3% a year of extra return (the Alpha) and that #1 grows to more than $45. Just 3% a year of extra return, and the results are multiplied three fold. Studies show that the individual investor underperforms the market by 6% to 17% annually. The truly sad part is that it does not have to be that way. Provided with the right tools, individual investors can outperform the market and reduce risk as well. This book will show you how one portfolio manager does exactly that -- adding an extra 3% annually to long term returns. It will show you how you can do the same, so you can triple your wealth in a manner tailored to your own unique individual management objectives and risk tolerances.
