Synopsis

In finance, as in life, there's no such thing as a free lunch—unless you're well diversified. The push toward diversification inspires many investors to buy index funds, which is a smart move. But most people have missed the chance to diversify over their investing lifecycle.

Now, for the first time, Ian Ayres and Barry Nalebuff—two of the most innovative thinkers in business, law, and economics—present investors with a set of tools that will allow us to diversify our portfolios over time, a radical innovation. By leveraging our portfolios when we're young (and leveraging less as we get older), nearly all investors can reduce risk while improving returns. Clearly written and extensively supported by ground-breaking research, Lifecycle Investing presents a simple idea for individual investors that promises to radically transform how all of us retire.

Goodreads review by Thomas on September 18, 2021

It's pretty weird. Everywhere you go, you only read one thing. "Invest in a globally diversified low-cost index fund". And that's it. Nothing more to it. Everyone repeats the same thing. Buy VWCE or IWDA/EMIM and the puzzle is solved, the question is answered. There is nothing more to discuss, the d......more

Goodreads review by Steve on April 02, 2020

The strategies discussed in this book are a bit more involved than I'm looking for and more advanced than I can currently appreciate. Consequently, I'm not the greatest judge of most of the advice offered in this book. However, I did not find the idea of borrowing money with interest to invest very......more
