Goodreads review by Dao

Appreciate the diversity in the type of asset classes / investing styles (equity, hedge fund, PE/VC, distressed, endowment, real estate, crypto, SPACs, ESG, infrastructure). The investors interviewed are of world-class caliber, as expected, but I think many interviews are too short to cover any subs......more

Excellent read Excellent sampling of investing in all asset classes. The book is humbling in that it shows the reader that investing requires way more experience and effort than most are willing to do.......more

A good sampling on investors and domains, provides not bad breadth on their bios and thinking. However, questions are generally easy and author doesn't intelligently force them to expand on their implicit withdrawals so the expected/desired depth is greatly missing.......more
