Stop Settling for Average Returns!
If you merely aim to keep up with the indexes, you’re settling for mediocrity--or worse. Indexing is actually becoming dangerous, thanks to its bias toward overvalued, overgrown, large cap stocks likely to hit long periods of underperformance. But simply choosing active management isn’t the solution: Many investment pros have quietly adopted “quasi-indexing” strategies that protect themselves at your expense.
Here’s the good news: You have a much better chance of beating the pros than they want you to think.
In Beating the Indexes, leading trader and Minyanville columnist Bill Feingold shows how to systematically exploit the biases of index investing and continuously make winning investments. Writing for sophisticated individual investors as well as professionals, Feingold introduces more profitable strategies based on convertible bonds and other alternative investments. He systematically exposes growing cracks in the theory of index investing, presenting long-term strategies capable of consistently outperforming index investors.
Tired of minimal returns that disappear with the slightest market volatility? This is the book you’ve been searching for.
• Why investment pros accept mediocrity--and how you can do better
Why individual investors are now well-positioned to beat the indexes and experts
• Convertibles: A better solution
Part bond, part stock, all opportunity
• Uncovering the consistent attributes of high-profit convertible investments
“Protected stock investing” strategies that really work
• Advanced techniques: how professional convertible traders think and operate
Expert-level strategies: advantages, drawbacks, and when to consider them
You can’t afford “average” performance any more--and with Bill Feingold’s help, you don’t have to accept it!
About the Author
Bill Feingold began his Wall Street career in 1985 as a corporate-finance analyst with Dillon Read after graduating from Yale, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in economics. Bill received Yale’s Hadley Prize for being the top graduating social sciences major. He earned his MBA in 1991 with distinction in finance from the Wharton School.
Currently, Bill is Managing Director and Convertible Strategist at BTIG LLC in New York, having traded convertibles for the firm before taking a leave to write this book. Bill was previously responsible for managing a portfolio of convertible securities at Goldman Sachs.
Between Goldman Sachs and BTIG, Bill contributed regularly to the financial education Web site Minyanville and published his first book, 2009’s The Undoing of Cowardice. Before that, he was the senior partner and co-manager of the FrontPoint Convertible Arbitrage Fund from 2003 to 2005. From 2000 to 2003, Bill co-managed the Clinton Riverside Convertible Fund, during most of which time the Fund grew substantially and was one of the top performers in its strategy.
Between FrontPoint and Goldman Sachs, Bill served as a consultant to Schaeffer’s Investment Research, a firm founded in 1981 and dedicated to the individual investor, with a focus on option-based strategies. Bill created the Advanced Trading Center at Schaeffer’s, designed for clients looking to expand their investment toolkits with advanced option strategies, convertible bonds, and other techniques. In the fall of 1999 and 2000, Bill co-taught the acclaimed Yale seminar “Market Psychology and the Truth About Derivatives.” Bill’s objective with the seminar was to provide liberal-arts students likely headed for policy-making careers the skills necessary to get behind the financial headlines and understand the real issues for themselves.
A native of New York City, Bill was raised in Berkeley, California. He lives in Westchester County, New York, with his wife, two daughters, and two cats.
