The Bogleheads' Guide to the Three-Fund Portfolio: How a Simple Portfolio of Three Total Market Index Funds Outperforms Most Investors with Less Risk by Taylor LarimoreMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Quite a short book laying out the main reasons the “three-fund portfolio” of the book title makes sense compared to investing in individual stocks or actively managed funds/etfs, or any other index funds/etfs. If you’ve read about index funds, say from any of Bogle’s books, you will see this is just a shortened version of one of his arguments for his funds. Fine for what it is, and fine as a reminder of why you invest in these funds, but the author interjects short testimonials within the text, making this sound too much like a marketing pitch. Without these testimonials, the book would be much shorter. Similar to some of the postings I've seen on Bogleheads and Reddit financial independence sites, and very similar to Bogle's own books.
