Abstract:
The Pension Strategy for Canadians teaches, through the use of a simple disciplined process, how individual investors can experience the same type of success as their institutional counterparts. The book is built upon the work of Nobel Prize winners William F. Sharpe and Harry M. Markowitz. It details in simple language how average investors can harness the techniques used by large pension plans, such as modern portfolio theory, dynamic asset allocation and diversification. The Pension Strategy will show investors how to achieve the same kind of performance and safety in their own retirement accounts as the large pension plans provide for their clients.
