Diversification provides a well-known way of getting something
close to a free lunch: by spreading money across different kinds of
investments, investors can earn the same return with lower risk or
a much higher return for the same amount of risk. This strategy,
introduced nearly fifty years ago, led to such strategies as index
funds. What if we were all missing out on another free lunch thats
right under our noses? In Lifecycle Investing, Barry Nalebuff and
Ian Ayrestwo of the most innovative thinkers in business, law, and
economicshave developed tools that will allow nearly any investor
to diversify their portfolios over time. By using leveraging when
younga controversial idea that sparked hate mail when the authors
first floated it in the pages of Forbesinvestors of all stripes,
from those just starting to plan to those getting ready to retire,
can substantially reduce overall risk while improving their
returns. In Lifecycle Investing, readers will learn * How to figure
out the level of exposure and leverage thats right for you * How
the Lifecycle Investing strategy would have performed in the
historical market * Why it will work even if everyone does it *
When not to adopt the Lifecycle Investing strategy Clearly written
and backed by rigorous research, Lifecycle Investing presents a
simple but radical idea that will shake up how we think about
retirement investing even as it provides a healthier nest egg in a
nicely feathered nest.
