"The portfolio is awesome, the approach is awesome, and the book is awesome" - Phil Bak, founder, Skyline Standard

Have you ever wanted to protect your money against market volatility but still benefit from outsized returns?

Then The Awesome Portfolio is for you.

For the last few decades, the conventional wisdom in investing has been to put your money in low-cost index funds, let them compound over time, and ride them into retirement, where you pick up your bag of money. Often, that isn't what happens. Over the course of an investing lifetime, there will be enormous ups and downs, big bear markets, and people will be unable to withstand the volatility.

If volatility is the enemy, then the goal should be to construct a portfolio that gives you something close to the returns of the stock market, but with a lot less volatility--enter Jared Dillian's 'Awesome Portfolio'. It is the portfolio for people who want to sleep at night, and not ever have to worry about what their investments are doing.

In this practical and accessible book, Jared Dillian, a seasoned Wall Street veteran and financial thought leader, dives deep into the philosophy and rationale behind this approach, examining the historical returns and mathematics that make it work.

This essential guide offers a fresh perspective on wealth accumulation and retirement investing that will revolutionize how you manage your money.
