Contraportada

"The first edition of Peter Stanyer's Guide to Investment Strategy stressed the advantages of 'keep-it-simple' strategies and the need for investors to start by 'knowing themselves'. Both proved critically important in the years that immediately followed. The second edition provides an astute and accessible analysis of how the different markets fared in the credit crunch and of both simple and more complicated strategies for investors."
Jeremy Marshall, CEO, C.Hoare and Co

"The first edition of this guide was both timely and prescient, and I am sure the second edition will prove equally so. I especially enjoyed the new chapter on investing in art and collectibles and reflected that victims of recent high-profile Ponzi schemes would have done well to have read the section on trusting your adviser."
Dr Steve Satchell, Reader of Financial Econometrics, Cambridge University, and Fellow, Trinity College, Cambridge
