About the Book

An analysis of the investment approach of the world's top investors, showing how to achieve market-beating returns. It is possible to beat the market. Taking this as a starting point, Excess Returns sets out to explore how exactly the most famous investors in the world have done it, year after year, sometimes by huge margins. Excess Returns is not a superficial survey of what investors have said about what they do. Rather, Frederik Vanhaverbeke applies a forensic analysis to hundreds of books, articles, letters and speeches made by dozens of top investors over the last century and synthesises his findings into a definitive blueprint of how exactly these investment legends have gone about their work. Among the legends whose work has been studied are Anthony Bolton, David Bonderman, Warren Buffett, Philip Carret, David Einhorn, Benjamin Graham, Joel Greenblatt, Seth Klarman, Peter Lynch, Jim Rogers, Walter Schloss, George Soros, John Templeton and many more.Among the revealing insights, you will learn of the striking similarities in the craft of great investors, crucial subtleties in their methods that are ignored by many, and the unconscious errors investors commonly make and how these are counter to successful investing. Special attention is given to two often overlooked areas: effective investment philosophy and investment intelligence. The investing essentials covered include: finding bargain shares; making a quantitative and qualitative business analysis; valuation methods; investing throughout the business cycle; timing buy and sell decisions; and much, much more! Excess Returns is full of timeless and practical insights, presented in a unique style, to help investors focus on the most promising opportunities and lead the way to beating the market.

Review :
"Using his style of forensic analysis, Frederik Vanhaverbeke creates a blueprint for investors made from hundreds of books, articles letters and speeches made by some of the globe s most well-known and successful investors." --Conor Shilling, Investor Today "The book is very structured and exhaustive...It contains a number of frameworks that puts the different analytical elements together ... This makes the book a valuable read for investors looking to improve their investment process. I also liked the chapters covering investment mistakes...A valuable read for investors looking to improve their investment process" -- Michael Wassermann, Strictly Financial "Newbie investors, as well as those individuals looking for critical insight into time-tested investing tactics, will profit from reading this book and implementing any number of its strategies...In particular, this book sheds light on the quantitative and quantitative-qualitative investment styles used by the most successful practitioners...The chapter on the most common buying and selling mistakes is especially pertinent to investors who have not had much success..." -- Les Masonon, Futures & Buy DON'T Hold "This is a fantastic book for both new and seasoned investors alike...While he writes in broad strokes, Vanhaverbeke gives you a very good foundation that you can use as you continue to study this field and apply what you learn. It is an excellent resource." -- Chet L, Taking Care of Biz;"In this elegant new study Vanheverbeke offers his readers a brisk immersion in the investment philosophy and techniques of the world's most renowned investors...The best bits of the volume tackle notions of 'investor intelligence' which Vanheverbeke argues hinges as much on behavioural propensities as anything else. The ideal fund manager, he says? Independent, eternally studious, humble, discreet, patient, courageous and knowledgeable." -- Claire Dwyer, Fidelity Personal Investing
