The best investment advice you’ll never get

The best investment advice you’ll never get Antes de su entrada en bolsa, Google dio el visto bueno a una iniciativa que se proponía reunir a grandes profesionales para asesorar a sus futuros trabajadores-millonarios. El artículo recoge consejos de profesores universitarios como Sharpe y Malkiel, Swensen y de otros profesionales como Boogle, el de un extrabajador de Morningstar, Motley Fool. Son claros sus consejos favoreciendo la inversión indexada tradicional y no hacer uso de los fondos tradicionales de gestión activa. No es que sea nada nuevo que no sepamos, pero me ha parecido interesante sacar este antiguo artículo de la hemeroteca y anunciarlo aquí. Algo del contenido.... 1. First to arrive was Stanford University’s William (Bill) Sharpe and offered a simple formula:

”Don’t try to beat the market,” he said. Put your savings into some indexed mutual funds, which will make you just as much money (if not more) at much less cost by following the market’s natural ebb and flow, and get on with building Google.

2. The following week it was Burton Malkiel.

Don’t try to beat the market, he said, and don’t believe anyone who tells you they can — not a stock broker, a friend with a hot stock tip, or a financial magazine article touting the latest mutual fund.

3. ... Still, they listened and pondered as they waited for the following week’s lesson from John Bogle. Bogle’s closing advice was as simple and direct as that of his predecessors:

those brokers and financial advisers hovering at the door are there for one reason and one reason only, - to take your money through exorbitant fees and transaction costs, many of which will be hidden from your view. ... Ignore them all and invest in an index fund. And it doesn’t have to be the Vanguard 500 Index, the indexed mutual fund that Bogle himself built into the largest in the world. Any passively managed index fund will do, because they’re all basically the same.
