by Tim Hale

Overview

Smarter Investing: Simpler Decisions for Better Results, 4th edition by Tim Hale, is the ultimate guide to help you build an investment portfolio that suits your needs.

This book is not only suitable for professional investors, but anyone concerned about how their money is invested. So, whether you are a beneficiary of your family's money investments, a "do-it-yourself" investor or someone who has employed others to handle your portfolio, this book will help you understand the "why's" and "how's" behind investment decisions.

• establish your investment objectives,
• avoid common investor pitfalls,
• build a balanced portfolio that is right for you,
• make the investment product selection easy and effective.
