"Smarter Investing is one of those books that I 'gift' to friends and family who ask me "What's the best way to invest?" It cuts through the noise and downright misinformation spread by the investment management industry. As a business consultant, I'm fortunate to have worked with some of the best Financial Planning firms in the UK and I've heard them sing the praises of this straightforward and practical guide for investors too. Read it for yourself and give it to your kids when they are ready to start investing."
