About this listen

Active managers persistently lag the returns of benchmarks and index funds that track them, with the excuses for underperformance recycled every year. This comprehensive book is the antidote for the active managers’ siren song. If you understand the benefits of indexing, or systematic investing, it will reinforce your commitment while increasing your knowledge.

In this greatly expanded second edition, Swedroe and Berkin show you how to develop an investment plan that focuses on what risks to take, and how much of them, as well as how to build a diversified portfolio. They present a list of vehicles to consider when implementing your plan and provide guidance on the care and maintenance of your portfolio. As a bonus they add appendices that will make you a more informed and, therefore, better investor.

This makes The Incredible Shrinking Alpha a complete guide to successful investment strategy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Profile Image for John Elmers

Fantastic, and communicates complex ideas well

This was fantastic. The authors make a rigorous—and practical case—for why retail investors should avoid trying to pick stops in an increasingly sophisticated environment. But their advice goes beyond “hold an index fund.”

The argument is clear, forceful, and intuitive. It also is grounded in both empirical research and finance theory. Thankfully, they communicate the latter clearly for the casual reader.

Importantly, there are clear, actionable steps here to follow.

Recommended for any intellectual investor trying to navigate the fog.
