Keith Christopher
A Gem of a Book

This review is from: The Empowered Investor: A Guide To Building Better Portfolios (Trade Paperback)

4 years ago

I found this book to be a gem. It was a pleasure to read and the information was clear and most enlightening. Having an interest in statistics and probabilities, I found the recommendations about asset class investing and the Fama/French 3-factor for investing most convincing. I liked the metaphors that were used; they helped make the principles and key ideas easily understandable. I found the references to research, throughout the book, and to the history of portfolio theory and… + read more

Great Overview - Needs More Content

This review is from: The Empowered Investor: A Guide To Building Better Portfolios (Trade Paperback)

The book has a superb table of contents; in fact it is four pages long. With a table of contents like that you would expect the book to provide much more information than it did.

A great tool

This review is from: The Empowered Investor: A Guide To Building Better Portfolios (Trade Paperback)

4 years ago

This is a unique book on the Canadian financial landscape. It is the first that exposes Canadians to the Three Factor Model which has been used successfully by institutions for years. That alone is worth the price of admission. Keith has done a great job in taking what are essentially esoteric mathematical exercises and making them readable and useable for the reader. It is important that readers recognize the difference between how institiutions and retail clients invest. This knowlege will… + read more
