About the Book

For the first time, this book exposes exactly how most private investors perform in real life. It shows they are likely to perform 6% a year worse than the industry's theoretical predictions of their returns (whether using funds or direct investing). The book reveals that many have earned less than if they had saved in a building society. Part I of the book looks in detail at reasons why investors underperform: poor skill, charges and survivorship bias. The second part turns to the implications for the private investor, the finance industry and regulators. Monkey with a Pin encourages private investors to review their investing style and strategy to help them achieve better returns. The book is available as a paperback and also as a free eBook download and audiobook podcast from monkeywithapin.com. Contents: * Preface * Chapter 1 - New Investor Expectations * Chapter 2 - The Industry Evidence for Equity Returns * Chapter 3 - Skill - The Evidence from Competitions * Chapter 4 - Skill - The Real Numbers * Chapter 5 - Returns - Is the Index Correct? * Chapter 6 - Costs - Share Trading * iC iC Chapter 7 - Costs - Funds * Chapter 8 - The Correct Return on Cash * Chapter 9 - Equity Returns Revisited * Chapter 10 - Implications for Investors #1 - Cash * Chapter 11 - Implications for Investors #2 - Cut Your Costs * Chapter 12 - Implications for Investors #3 - Change Your Trading Behaviour * Chapter 13 - Implications for Investors #4 - Review Your Strategy * Chapter 14 - Implications for Investors #5 - Reconsider Your Group Investment Type * Chapter 15 - Implications for Investors #6 - Alternative Asset Types * Chapter 16 - Implications for the Finance Industry * Chapter 17 - Implications for Regulators * Chapter 18 - Concluding Thoughts Reviews: "Comley's argument is clear, honest, logical and jargon-free. He also throws in some astonishing stats, such as this one: that 6% we lose every year totals GBP170 billion -- or GBP3,000 for every man, woman and child in the UK. That's a lot of money the finance industry makes from us. Best of all, Monkey With A Pin isn't selling you the dream of getting rich quick. In fact, it isn't selling anything at all. You can download it free from monkeywithapin.com. And I recommend you do. It could be worth up to 6% of your portfolio every year." Harvey Jones, Journalist, Motley Fool "You can download this book for free from monkeywithapin.com. And you should. Why? Because it explains to you exactly why neither you nor the fund managers you hire to run your money for you ever seem to make the kind of returns studies show the equity market is supposed to offer." Merryn Somerset Webb, Editor-in-Chief, MoneyWeek
