The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is the ultimate guide to getting smart about the stock market, written by legendary mutual fund pioneer John C. Bogle. In this classic book, Bogle introduces the key to successful investing: low-cost index funds.
Bogle advocates for the simplest yet most effective strategy to build wealth over the long term: buy and hold a mutual fund that tracks a broad market index like the S&P 500, all while keeping costs incredibly low. His advice is straightforward but powerful, and it’s based on decades of experience and proven results.
Since the book’s first publication in 2007, the stock market has gone through numerous ups and downs, yet Bogle’s investment principles have endured, providing steady returns to investors. The tenth anniversary edition includes updated data and insights but keeps the same long-term approach that has stood the test of time.
In this edition, Bogle adds two new chapters:
- Asset allocation – understanding how to spread your investments across different types of assets.
- Retirement investing – providing guidance on building wealth for retirement.
Bogle’s philosophy is simple: a portfolio focused on index funds is the only investment strategy that guarantees you a fair share of stock market returns. Even financial giants like Warren Buffett endorse Bogle’s method. Buffett has said: “If a statue is ever erected to honor the person who has done the most for American investors, the hands-down choice should be Jack Bogle.”
Through this book, Bogle shows you how to make index investing work for you, helping you achieve your financial goals. His strategy is supported by the insights of some of the world’s top financial experts, including Benjamin Graham, Paul Samuelson, Burton Malkiel, David Swensen, and others.
If you want a clear, straightforward, and effective guide to investing, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is your essential read for building long-term wealth.
