Financial Times Guide to Investing, The

‘The most damaging half truth for savers is “performance matters more than expenses”. Read this book carefully and the financial services industry will have one fewer easy victim, but you will have a sound base for a lifetime of successful investment.’ Martin White, Chair of UK Shareholders Association

‘This is one of those great big books to buy and then tuck away for constant reference. It’s a tour through everything from managing a portfolio to establishing a fair intrinsic value for a share. If it moves in the world of investing, it’s probably here.’ David Stevenson, ‘Adventurous Investor’ in the Financial Times

‘Informative and easy to read, Glen Arnold has produced arguably the most comprehensive book there is today on stock market investing and one that unquestionably will give an edge to any retail investor. This is a must read for anyone serious about investing.’ Simon Thompson, Companies Editor, Investors Chronicle

Glen Arnold, PhD, runs his own equity portfolio from the heart of rural Leicestershire. He used to teach in the City and was a Professor of Investment but concluded that academic life was not nearly as much fun, nor as intellectually stimulating, as making money in the markets. For decades, his research focus explored the question: ‘What works in investment?’ drawing on the ideas of the great investors, academic discoveries and his own experience, good and bad.

As well as being author of the UK’s number 1 investment book, The Financial Times Guide to Investing, he wrote the investing classics, The Great Investors, The Financial Times Guide to Value Investing, Get Started In Shares, and The Deals of Warren Buffett. He has also written several market-leading university textbooks including Corporate Financial Management, as well as the best-selling book on banking, The Financial Times Guide to Banking.
