How I Invest My Money Volume Two

Synopsis

It’s time to once again pull back the curtain on the world of investment, with personal finance stories from the people who shape the markets.

In How I Invest My Money: Volume Two, Brian Portnoy spotlights a new group of financial experts – from portfolio managers and financial advisors to fintech founders and thought leaders – who offer candid insights into their personal financial decisions. They challenge conventional wisdom, reflect on risks taken and rewards earned, and reveal how their strategies have evolved over time.

Returning voices from Volume One, including Morgan Housel and Christine Benz, also share how they manage their own money today: What’s changed, what still works, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. These updated excerpts sit alongside the new contributions from some of the biggest names in the industry including Barry Ritholtz, Kyla Scanlon, Ben Hunt and many, many more.

What emerges is a powerful reminder: everyone manages money differently. And that our ultimate 'benchmark' for success is never a market index. It is executing a financial plan that aligns with your values, goals, and a life of contentment and purpose.

Learn from the experts and achieve your financial goals.
