Investment Myths

Chapter Chapter 20 in Winning the Institutional Investing Race, 2015, pp 107-110 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The science of investing is infested with so many myths and old wives' tales that even well-respected academics fail to question some of them. One well-publicized economics professor has even pushed in his blog the index myth when some simple arithmetic would show it to be false. Here are some of the more egregious myths that have a serious impact on board members and investment officers and their ability to manage the investment portfolio.
