Not good advice for the retail investor,
This review is from: Winning with ETF Strategies: Top Asset Managers Share Their Methods for Beating the Market (Minyanville Media) (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This short book on ETFs is divided in two different halves. The first one covering seven of the eight chapters in the book is focused on two themes:1) The assumed advantage of equal weighted or fundamental weighted indices over traditional market cap weighted indices; and 2) The advantage of extensive market timing in different investment sectors and asset classes facilitated by the broad universe of ETFs vs a traditional buy and hold strategy. The second half of the book is an interesting survey of 23 different investment managers that use ETFs as their main investment vehicle to create various investment asset allocations. The ongoing debate regarding indices structure is interesting. The author interviews advocates on the equal weighted or fundamental weighted side. Their main argument is that this approach ensures you don't overweight stocks that have bubbled. They state that the top 50 stocks by market cap account for 50% of the... Read more

Good general Introduction but not a cookbook for winning with ETF, By
This review is from: Winning with ETF Strategies: Top Asset Managers Share Their Methods for Beating the Market (Minyanville Media) (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This book provides a good general introduction to ETFs with its emphasis on explaining the Equal-weighted and Cap weighted Indexes as well as their pros and cons. It would have been more helpful if it provides a broader coverage of the various types of ETF (which are plenty nowadays) such as the leverage and inverse ETFs which are gaining popularity in recent years.The remaining half of the book focuses on the interviewing of many asset managers involved with ETF investment and trading. Even though the book claims that they are top asset managers, it does not support the claims by showing their actual performance track records. I am not able to extract useful information through such interviews as it gives me an impression that they are more of an advertising campaign describing the general principles and methodologies the asset managers use. I am an active trader and investor on various ETF instruments. I am not able to find a clear set of rules nor instructions on how to... Read more

poorly organized, By
This review is from: Winning with ETF Strategies: Top Asset Managers Share Their Methods for Beating the Market (Minyanville Media) (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is an odd sort of book. There are 8 chapters, but the first 6 chapters cover only 50 pages (out of 200 pages). These 6 chapters are a tutorial on ETFs that is pretty good for beginners. The last 2 chapters of the book (150 pages) seems like a loosely organized set of interviews with various money managers who use ETFs in their work. There is some good information in there, but the writing style makes it very hard to learn from. This book could be improved a lot by distilling and organizing this material to make it easier to follow.
