Abstract

Throughout this book, I have described many of the basic errors investors make that cause harm to their portfolios and diminish their returns over time. In Chapter 2, for example, I discussed the problems that undisciplined savings, changes to your expected cash needs in retirement, and asset allocation strategies that ignore the long term can present. Chapters 3 and 4, meanwhile, listed the many uncompensated risks that can impact your portfolio when you allow your judgment to be clouded by size, style, and home country biases. Chapter 7 showed how inconsistent even the best managers can be when it comes to outperforming their benchmarks, and Chapter 9 illustrated the point that fees and expenses can drain your savings and long-term growth over time. In other words, I've spent a good portion of this book discussing the various risks that can negatively impact investors' portfolios and, by extension, their returns in the long run.
