No one cares more about your money than you do.

You should manage it yourself, using a strategy as powerful and effective as any used by the nation's top financial institutions.

A strategy that allows you to outperform the vast majority of professional money managers, costs you nothing in sales charges, brokerage fees or commissions, and takes less than 20 minutes a year to implement, even though it's based on an investment system so sophisticated it won the Nobel Prize in economics.

That, in a nutshell, is The Gone Fishin' Portfolio.

It's about handling your serious money simply, effectively and cost-efficiently, with the absolute minimum amount of time and attention.

This book―written for novices and experienced investors alike―reveals the extraordinary power of saving, investing and compounding. It pulls back the curtain on how the financial services industry really works. And shows readers how to reach their most important financial goals, while minimizing risk and volatility.

Celebrated investor and bestselling author Alexander Green makes a persuasive case that The Gone Fishin' Portfolio should make up the foundation of your long-term investment program.

The philosophy behind it is based on the best investment thinking available. The strategy has been tested in all economic conditions, including the financial crisis, the Great Recession and the coronavirus pandemic.

And it works.

Investors who have put their money to work this way have enjoyed years of market-beating returns while taking far less risk than being fully invested in stocks.

The Gone Fishin' Portfolio allows you to achieve your most important investment goals―and the peace of mind that comes with that.

"In 2009 I read what may be the most important book out of the thousands I have read in a career as a writer and academic. It is the book you are holding. I did what the author instructed: I invested in solid companies at the bottom of the Great Recession market and I went fishin―or in my case, being a cyclist, I went cyclin'. Today, despite market volatility, I have enough money to retire. That is the power of Alex Green's program presented here and I cannot overstate its importance. Try it . . . and then go cycling!"
