Description
Summary:"This is the fourth edition of Smarter Investing. It arrives a decade after the last edition, and 17 years since the first. How time flies when you are having fun! When the first edition of the book was published in 2006 the global equity markets had recovered much of their losses following the technology stock driven crash of 2000-2003 - a period during which the UK market fell by over 45%. By the time the second edition was published in 2009, investors had suffered the trauma of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The UK and global markets fell by over 40% during the period November 2007 to February, and the economy was deeply in recession. Since the lows of 2009 - and via the third edition in 2013 - the markets have delivered very strong returns, even taking into account the pandemic period 2020-21, and the fall in global bond and equity markets in 2022. What 2023 and beyond will bring, no-one knows, which is why we all need to build widely diversified, sensibly structured portfolios will help us survive and thrive across a broad range of market seasons"--
