Harriman House Publishing Invest in the Best
Book SynopsisThis book concentrates on the investment style of Business Perspective Investing, as practiced by Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. It takes the reader through the realisation that the thought process involved when buying shares in a company is no different to buying the company in its entirety.Beginning with how to assess the quality of a business, it explains and illustrates with examples what to look for in company accounts, how to determine the value drivers of a business, the strength of its franchise and how to interpret key financial ratios and performance indicators. It discusses the ideal characteristics of a business worthy of investment so that you will develop a mental checklist of what to look out for.The book then sets out a number of valuation methods to determine the likely economic worth of a company. It is against this estimate that a judgement can be made as to whether a share price offers good value.The book concludes with thoughts on portfolio construction, in particular Focus Investing, where a concentrated approach is taken, and legitimate reasons for deciding to sell a holding. Throughout, the emphasis is on the methodology used to manage the SDL UK Buffettology Fund.

Harriman House Publishing Smart Portfolios
Book SynopsisSmart Portfolios is about building and maintaining smart investment portfolios. At its heart are the three key questions every investor needs to answer:1. What to invest in.2. How much to invest.3. When to make changes to a portfolio.Author Robert Carver addresses these three areas by providing a single integrated approach to portfolio management. He shows how to follow a step-by-step process to build a multi-asset investment portfolio, and how to rebalance the portfolio efficiently. He covers both investment in collective funds like ETFs, and also direct investment in individual equities.Important features include:-- Why forecasting future returns is so difficult, and how to account for uncertainty when making investment decisions.-- How to accurately calculate the true costs of an investment, including costs that you may not even be aware of.-- How to select the best ETF for each asset class.-- How to compare the costs and other features of different ETFs.-- How to select individual shares.-- Calculating the number of shares needed for adequate diversification.-- How to use systematic forecasting algorithms to adjust portfolio allocations.-- How to cut trading costs through smart rebalancing strategies and execution tactics.Robert Carver also explains how to blend assets with different levels of risk, and how to construct portfolios that suit the level of risk that the investor can cope with.Smart Portfolios is detailed, comprehensive, and full of practical methods, rules of thumb and techniques, all fully explained with examples. It is intended for professional investors worldwide, including financial advisors, private bankers, wealth managers and institutional funds; as well as experienced private investors.Trade Review"Two years after the excellent Systematic Trading, Rob has done it again. Smart Portfolios offer a unique insight into how a finance professional approaches portfolio construction and investment. This books clears up many misconceptions about investing and offers rational methods and tools for taking care of your hard earned money." -- Andreas Clenow, CIO Acies Asset Management, Zurich. "Smart Portfolios introduces plenty of concepts that anyone should follow in thinking about how to structure their investment dollars... Smart Portfolios makes for a valuable read, because it always brings you back to the practical macro-level questions (what to invest in, how much to invest, what changes to make) instead of going so far down the rabbit hole that you forget why various formulas or charts are relevant. Carver's pedigree and current status make him the right kind of author for this type of book." -- Adam Just, Proud Money. "In Finance (like many other subjects) there is a large amount of research that is smart but impractical and an equally large amount of popular literature that is practical but dumb. This book is in that rare category of smart and practical - it is also an entertaining read in its own right." -- Francis Breedon, Professor of Finance Queen Mary, University of London and former head of currency strategy at a major investment bank. "Smart Portfolios is a sophisticated but not overly technical treatment of a topic that every investor has to come to grips with. As such, it is a recommended read." --Brenda Jubin, Investing.co. "This is one of those reference books that you put on the shelf - one of those great; just the facts; very practical reference guides that you can't go wrong with... The book is a solid piece of work so check it out... You can really open up to any page and get the juices flowing in terms of what's a good thought process... It's about the process and there are some really practical ways, mathematical ways, to put a good process in motion for your life... A great Christmas present!" --Michael Covel, Trend FollowingTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. What is the best portfolio? 2. The unpredictability of returns 3. Costs 4.

Harriman House Publishing Life After Growth
Book SynopsisNEW PAPERBACK EDITION WITH ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTION AND END NOTE FROM THE AUTHORWhy, years after the banking crisis, is the global economy still mired in recession and burdened by enormous debts? Why have the tried-and-tested economic policies of the past failed us this time?In Life After Growth, leading City analyst Tim Morgan sets out a ground-breaking analysis of how the economy really works. Economists are mistaken, he argues, when they limit their interpretation of the economy to matters of money. Ultimately, the economy is an energy system, not a monetary one.From this, it follows that we need to think in terms of two economies, not one - a ''real'' economy of work, energy, resources, goods and services, and a parallel, ''financial'' economy of money and debt. These two economies have parted company, allowing the financial economy to pile up promises that the real economy cannot meet.Starting with the discovery of agriculture, Tim Morgan traces the rise of the economy in terms of work, energy and resources. The driving factor, he explains, has been cheap and abundant energy. As energy has become increasingly costly to obtain, the potential for prosperity has diminished, to the point where growth in the real economy has ceased.An immediate problem is that our commitments - including debt, investments and welfare promises - cannot be honoured, which means that we can expect the financial system to be wracked by value destruction. At the same time, we need to adapt to a future in which prosperity can no longer be taken for granted.

Harriman House Publishing The Life Cycle Hypothesis
Book SynopsisThe Life Cycle Hypothesis provides evidence of an ordered process behind the apparent randomness of financial asset price movements, economic fluctuations, and social trends. It shows how genuine information will have a dramatic effect on any system into which it is inserted, and will generate reactions that are essentially pre-programmed.Trade ReviewTony Plummer simply put is a genius. The book shows how, what he calls the Life Cycle, is a specific pattern of cyclical peaks and troughs derived from Gann, that can be applied to a host of areas such as the stock market, bond prices, commodities, the euro and other areas of life. It is too accurate to ignore, and provides a roadmap for the direction of financial markets that everyone (apart from intraday traders perhaps) will be at a great advantage knowing about.
