While it’s difficult to outperform the market year in and year out, some people continue to earn substantial market-beating returns from their portfolios. How do they do it? With the help of savvy asset allocation strategies, such as those developed by author David Darst, one of the world’s leading thinkers in the field of asset allocation. Now, with The Little Book That Saves Your Assets, Darst discusses how readers can invest like the rich by implementing this proven approach in their everyday investment endeavors.

Based on brilliant thinking and innovative research, this book is crisp, clear, and down-to-earth. It explores both the art and science of asset allocation and makes this crucial method accessible to anyone–investors and professionals alike–all of whom can benefit from asset allocation strategies.

The Way the Wealthy Got There (And How You Can Too!)
Have you ever wondered how the super-rich built their wealth—and whether you could build big wealth too?

The Ten Roads to Riches takes an engaging and informative look at some of America’s most famous (and infamous) modern day millionaires (and billionaires), and reveals how they found their fortunes. Surprisingly, the super-wealthy usually get there by taking just one of ten possible roads. And now, so can you!

Even if achieving super wealth isn’t your goal, you can still learn how to build more modest wealth following the same successful paths others have used. In The Ten Roads to Riches, renowned investment expert and self-made billionaire Ken Fisher highlights amusing anecdotes of individuals who have traveled (or tumbled) down each road, and shares advice on increasing your chances of success. Whether it’s starting a business, owning real estate, investing wisely or even marrying very, very well, Fisher will show how some got it right and others got it horribly wrong. Whether you’re just beginning to plan your financial future or well on your way, The Ten Roads to Riches can show you how to gain, and more importantly, maintain the wealth you want.

KEN FISHER is best known for his prestigious “Portfolio Strategy” column in Forbes magazine, where his 24-year tenure of high-profile calls makes him the fourth longest-running columnist in Forbes’ 90-year history. Ken is the founder, Chairman, and CEO of Fisher Investments, and has appeared in most major American finance or business periodicals. He is also the author of the bestselling investment book, The Only Three Questions That Count, which is published by Wiley.
