About the Book
For immigrants, their descendants, and anyone else looking to learn the unbiased truth about investing, Close the Gap & Get Your Share is a step-by-step guide to generating and passing on wealth in the US. From Dr. Julio Cacho, Cole Conkling, and Juan Carlos Herrera, managing directors of Inscription Capital, Close the Gap & Get Your Share is a crucial resource that explains US-based investing in a way that makes sense to immigrants (as well as novice investors) and allows them to skip years of learning and catch up to their non-immigrant peers in attaining financial prosperity--without jeopardizing their families' existing resources. Close the Gap & Get Your Share does away with the usual Wall Street practice of overcomplicating investment advice in favor of fact-based, straightforward strategies and puts the listener's financial wellbeing first. Close the Gap & Get Your Share teaches immigrants and their families how to: overcome the hidden and unnecessary risks that face immigrants and all novice investors; invest in practice, including topics about what a market is, risk and return, risk tolerance, and how to properly balance risk and return; and deal with investor behavior, including recognizing and understanding behavioral biases and how to properly overcome them so you can achieve long-term financial security. This audiobook includes an exclusive author conversation.
