We Published a Shiny, New Book on Adaptive Asset Allocation!
Check this out:
When we initially launched SkewU, we did so with a pretty simple set of guidelines: keep things short and sweet, write in English, post more frequently and write things that are quirky and off-topic. Basically, we wanted a place to do the exact opposite of what we were accustomed to on GestaltU. If GestaltU is supposed to be a science lab, SkewU is supposed to be a playground.
With that fully in mind, today we bring you a crazy Shymalanian twist: you need to read our recently published book Adaptive Asset Allocation: Dynamic Global Portfolios to Profit in Good Times – and Bad. Yes, it’s 40,000 words of investment philosophy, research and insights…basically everything SkewU is not. But in our defense, we distilled the best concepts from the hundreds of thousands of words we’ve written since 2008. It’s a minor miracle in and of itself that we were able to jam all that wisdom into 200 measly pages!
And not for nothing, but the timing of this book couldn’t be better. Consider the following commentary:
It’s time to pick your poison. Is it going to be self-defeating behavioral biases? Sky-high valuations? Rising volatility? Low turnover portfolios falsely masquerading as “passive?” An unfortunate sequence of returns? What overlooked, under-appreciated risk is going to ruin your best-laid retirement plans?
We bet there’s something lingering in the background that you’ve yet to consider…and now is the time. Adaptive Asset Allocation: Dynamic Global Portfolios to Profit in Good Times – and Bad shines a light on all these risks, and provides a path to navigate this historically treacherous economy.
Further, consider some of the early praise for Adaptive Asset Allocation:
