"In the years since the now-classic Pioneering Portfolio Management was first published, the global investment landscape has changed dramatically - but the results of David Swensen's investment strategy for the Yale University endowment have remained as impressive as ever. Year after year, Yale's portfolio has trumped the marketplace by a wide margin, and, with over $20 billion added to the endowment under his twenty-three-year tenure, Swensen has contributed more to Yale's finances than anyone ever has to any university in the country. What may have seemed like one among many success stories in the era before the Internet bubble burst emerges now as a completely unprecedented institutional investment achievement." "In this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, author of the bestselling personal finance guide Unconventional Success, describes the investment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid and penetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management, illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fund management. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawn from his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handling risk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls." "Swensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially when describing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads to buying high and selling low. Trust is more important than flash-in-the-pan success. Expertise, fortitude, and the long view produce positive results where gimmicks and trend following do not." "The original Pioneering Portfolio Management outlined a commonsense template for structuring a well-diversified equity-oriented portfolio. This new edition provides fund managers and students of the market an up-to-date guide for actively managed investment portfolios."--Jacket

The bestselling author of Pioneering Portfolio Management returns with a guide for individual investors on managing financial assets. Investment legend David F. Swensen presents compelling evidence that the for-profit mutual fund industry consistently fails the average investor. High management fees and frequent portfolio "churning" undermine individual clients, while hidden schemes, such as "pay-to-play" fees and soft-dollar kickbacks, further limit choices and reduce returns. Even those who navigate the pitfalls of the mutual fund industry often inflict self-harm by frequently selling losers and buying winners, which damages returns and increases tax liabilities. Swensen identifies nearly insurmountable challenges for ordinary investors and proposes a contrarian investment strategy that emphasizes well-diversified, equity-oriented, "market-mimicking" portfolios. He advocates for using investor-friendly, not-for-profit investment companies like Vanguard and TIAA-CREF, steering clear of actively managed funds and opting for client-oriented mutual fund managers. Ultimately, this guide offers essential insights and strategies for improving the financial future of personal investors.

Die Finanzmärkte stellen Anleger vor immer größere Herausforderungen. Wer sich von vermeintlichen Zukunftsmärkten, explodierenden Rohstoffpreisen oder volatilen Aktienkursen zu Schnellschüssen verleiten lässt, steht am Ende oft als Verlierer da. Dagegen setzt David F. Swensen, Manager des Milliardenvermögens der Yale University, auf eine Proaktive Portfolio Strategie. Der Erfolg bestätigt ihn: Über die letzten zehn Jahre erzielte Swensen eine Rendite von durchschnittlich 16,8 Prozent. In seinem Bestseller wirft Swensen einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Anlegerwelt, schreibt über die Vermögenspolitik großer Institutionen und behandelt anschaulich die Schlüsselfragen, die sich einem jeden Anleger stellen. Sein Buch richtet sich nicht allein an institutionelle Investoren, sondern auch an Privatanleger, die den Profis auf die Finger schauen wollen.

Mit unkonventionellen Strategien erfolgreicher sein Analysen und Tipps vom Star der professionellen Anleger Ein Muss für Berater von Privatanlegern Investmentlegende David F. Swensen beweist, dass die üblichen gewinnorientierten Investmentfonds ungeeignet für den durchschnittlichen Anleger sind. Von zu hohen Managementgebühren bis hin zu zu häufigen Umschichtungen des Portfolios - der hartnäckige Versuch der Investmentmanager, die Rendite der von ihnen verwalteten Fonds aggressiv zu steigern, schadet allzu oft den einzelnen Kunden und dient eher dem eigenen professionellen Interesse. David F. Swensen rät deshalb entgegen den gängigen Empfehlungen privaten Anlegern von aktiv verwalteten Fonds ab. Seine unkonventionelle Investmentalternative setzt ausschließlich auf preiswerte Index-Fonds.
