Templeton's Way with Money

Strategies and Philosophy of a Legendary Investor

By: Alasdair Nairn, Jonathan Davis

Narrated by: Alex Hyde-White

The enduring legacy of a legendary investor

Called the "greatest stock picker of the century" by Money magazine, legendary fund manager Sir John Templeton is remembered as one of the world's foremost investors, known for his pioneering insights and phenomenal investment performance over a professional career which spanned more than half a century.

Templeton's Way with Money provides a unique, professional 21st century appraisal of what made this formidable investor the success he was and why his methods remain as valid today as they were during his long and successful lifetime.

Written by two investment experts, one of whom worked closely with Sir John for 10 years, and drawing on previously unpublished documents, the book explains in detail how John Templeton's simple but effective investment philosophy of riding out the ups and downs of the market cycle continues to be as relevant as ever for professional and private investors alike.

Key features include:

• A fresh and detailed reappraisal, drawing on a number of previously unpublished documents, of the philosophy which Templeton applied to the two phase of his investment career first as an investment counsel, and latterly as the most successful global fund manager of his generation
• A detailed and original study of the performance of the Templeton Growth Fund, demonstrating in detail how Templeton achieved the Holy Grail of investment above average returns with below average risk
• Firsthand accounts from former colleagues of their experience in working with Templeton including those of author Alasdair Nairn's 10-year career working with and for the investment management organization that was Templeton's life work
• Proprietary and original research which explains why Templeton's seemingly simple investment philosophy is sure to produce exceptional returns if implemented effectively

Current market conditions make Templeton's contrarian investment method of profiting from pessimism particularly relevant today, and this book a must-listen for anyone working with investments.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great Read

So many gems when you listen to a great one! It’s the little things they provide that gets you to the next level.

Great just ignore the additions from the authors

It is good, but the authors add much unwanted noise, clearly showing that they have been hypnotized by economic theories and have a poor grasp of the value investing school, or even the growth school (if we can agree that the growth school is based on Philip Fisher). It is somewhat hard to cut out their input, which is a shame.
