Finding the right investment portfolio is a lot like finding true love – what works for someone else might not work for you. And that’s okay.

It’s not about the 'best' portfolio; it’s about the one that’s best for you.

In Your Perfect Portfolio, renowned financial strategist Cullen Roche draws on two decades of experience building investment firms and advising clients to help you discover the strategy that fits your goals, temperament, and life.

Blending timeless investing wisdom with modern research, Roche outlines ten essential principles of portfolio construction and dissects more than twenty of the world’s most influential investment strategies – from Warren Buffett’s classic approach to the momentum-driven tactics of trend followers, and even innovative frameworks you’ve likely never seen before.

You will learn how to:

• Identify the key principles needed to construct a secure portfolio
• Assess the strengths of different portfolio-building strategies
• Implement these different techniques into your own investing portfolio

Whether you’re a hands-on investor or prefer to keep things simple and automated, Your Perfect Portfolio gives you the tools to build a portfolio that fits you – and achieve financial independence.

Critic reviews

I can count on one hand the number of people whose views on the economy and portfolio construction I pay attention to. Cullen Roche is one of them. (Morgan Housel, bestselling author of The Psychology of Money)

For the last fifteen years, Cullen has written persuasively about the way the economy actually works, keeping readers from missing out on one of history's great bull markets. Now, as he takes on the art of portfolio construction, investors should pay close attention. This may be one of the most essential books of the year. (Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and star of CNBC's The Halftime Report)

This wise book is built on an important insight: The portfolio that suits one person may not fit another. Packed with data and analysis, Your Perfect Portfolio also manages to be an incredibly fun read. (Christine Benz, Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning at Morningstar)

Uniquely understandable and readable

I’ve read more tombs on portfolio construction and management than I care to remember. This is the first book on portfolio construction that does not read like a finance journal article, a product pitch for Wall street and the financial consulting industry, nor a syndicated money talk show. The book is a must read for the DIY investor or the client of a financial advisor who wants to understand why their money gets put in particular investment types.
