The Little Book of Common Sense Investing

by John C. Bogle

The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John C. Bogle advocates for a straightforward, low-cost approach to investing: index fund investing.

Bogle, founder of Vanguard, explains why most actively managed funds fail to beat the market and how excessive fees can erode returns.

Instead, he encourages investors to choose low-cost index funds to capture the full returns of the market over time.

Bogle outlines the benefits of simplicity, emphasizing that a diversified portfolio with minimal fees and long-term horizons typically outperforms more complex strategies.

The book is rich with evidence and data, making a strong case for index fund investing as a reliable way to achieve steady growth and financial independence.

Bogle’s approach is designed for investors who value stability, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity.
