​Purpose

Finance is a simple subject that uses a complex language; the final goal of this book is to make the language simple as well.

 

This short book aims at explaining major investing concepts in simple terms to smart savers working in other industries that are not Finance.

Whether they are already investing or thinking about starting to invest, this book is meant to help them keep their wealth safe and growing.

 

The book is free but complete and of high-quality, a result of the author’s passion for this matter.

Disclaimer 1

This book does not constitute financial advice. It has only educational and theoretical purposes. I cannot, and I do not suggest specific instruments to buy or sell; thus, I am not responsible for readers' investment actions.

 

Disclaimer 2

To those financial professionals who will read this book, this book avoids the use of sectorial but more precise terms, preferring more common words to be understood by more people. Simplicity requires common terms.

 

However, financial professionals might find more interesting the second part of the book, more precisely the last chapters (6, 7, and 8). Together, these last chapters embody my final university thesis, ‘Hedge fund: investment strategies and performance,’ which are more technical and involved empirical research.
