James Montier

"As with his weekly column, James Montier's Value Investing is a must read for all students of the financial markets. In short order, Montier shreds the 'efficient market hypothesis', elucidates the pertinence of behavioral finance, and explains the crucial difference between investment process and investment outcomes. Montier makes his arguments with clear insight and spirited good humor, and then backs them up with cold hard facts. Buy this book for yourself, and for anyone you know who cares about their capital!"―Seth Klarman , President, The Baupost Group LLC The seductive elegance of classical finance theory is powerful, yet value investing requires that we reject both the precepts of modern portfolio theory (MPT) and pretty much all of its tools and techniques. In this important new book, the highly respected and controversial value investor and behavioural analyst, James Montier explains how value investing is the only tried and tested method of delivering sustainable long-term returns. James shows you why everything you learnt at business school is wrong; how to think properly about valuation and risk; how to avoid the dangers of growth investing; how to be a contrarian; how to short stocks; how to avoid value traps; how to hedge ignorance using cheap insurance. Crucially he also gives real time examples of the principles outlined in the context of the 2008/09 financial crisis. In this book James shares his tried and tested techniques and provides the latest and most cutting edge tools you will need to deploy the value approach successfully. It provides you with the tools to start thinking in a different fashion about the way in which you invest, introducing the ways of over-riding the emotional distractions that will bedevil the pursuit of a value approach and ultimately think and act differently from the herd.

A detailed guide to overcoming the most frequently encountered psychological pitfalls of investing Bias, emotion, and overconfidence are just three of the many behavioral traits that can lead investors to lose money or achieve lower returns. Behavioral finance, which recognizes that there is a psychological element to all investor decision-making, can help you overcome this obstacle. In The Little Book of Behavioral Investing , expert James Montier takes you through some of the most important behavioral challenges faced by investors. Montier reveals the most common psychological barriers, clearly showing how emotion, overconfidence, and a multitude of other behavioral traits, can affect investment decision-making. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, The Little Book of Behavioral Investing will enable you to identify and eliminate behavioral traits that can hinder your investment endeavors and show you how to go about achieving superior returns in the process. Praise for The Little Book Of Behavioral Investing " The Little Book of Behavioral Investing is an important book for anyone who is interested in understanding the ways that human nature and financial markets interact."― Dan Ariely, James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics, Duke University, and author of Predictably Irrational "In investing, success means¿being on the right side of most trades. No book provides a better starting point toward that goal than this one."― Bruce Greenwald, Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management, Columbia Business School "'Know thyself.' Overcoming human instinct is key to becoming a better investor.¿ You would be irrational if you did not read this book."― Edward Bonham-Carter, Chief Executive and Chief Investment Officer, Jupiter Asset Management "There is not an investor anywhere who wouldn't profit from reading this book."― Jeff Hochman, Director of Technical Strategy, Fidelity Investment Services Limited "James Montier gives us a very accessible version of why we as investors are so predictably irrational, and a guide to help us channel our 'Inner Spock' to make better investment decisions. Bravo!"― John Mauldin, President, Millennium Wave Investments

“Il problema principale per un investitore – e anche il suo peggior nemico – è probabilmente lui stesso”. Così scriveva 80 anni fa Benjamin Graham, il padre del value investing, l’investimento basato sui fondamentali. Le parole di Graham sono molto attuali. I pregiudizi, le emozioni e l’eccesso di fiducia sono alcuni dei fattori comportamentali che possono portare gli investitori a perdere i loro soldi, o a guadagnare meno di quanto potrebbero. In questo libro, divertente da leggere, James Montier, uno degli investment strategist di maggior successo ed esperto di finanza comportamentale, ci guida alla scoperta delle trappole mentali più comuni per l’investitore, suggerendo le strategie per evitarle. L’autore illustra inoltre il modo in cui alcuni degli investitori di maggior successo hanno affrontato e superato quei pregiudizi cognitivi che affossano i rendimenti degli investimenti. C’è molto da imparare dalla loro esperienza. Pagina dopo pagina, Montier spiega quanto sia importante elaborare, pianificare e successivamente seguire una strategia. L’autore ci invita a fare le dovute analisi “a mente fredda”, quando cioè riusciamo a pensare in modo razionale (e i mercati sono relativamente stabili), impegnandoci a rispettare le scelte conseguenti anche quando i mercati diventano “turbolenti”. Montier sottolinea quanto sia insensato cercare di prevedere cosa succederà sui mercati. Egli spiega infine, perché è fondamentale concentrarsi sul metodo e sul processo decisionale, piuttosto che sui risultati. Dando la priorità al “come” agire, possiamo sfruttare al massimo la nostra capacità di generare buoni profitti nel lungo termine. Penso dunque investo illustra in modo facile tutta una serie di metodi collaudati per riconoscere ed evitare i pregiudizi cui è soggetto l’investitore. Seguendo semplici regole, si impara a prevalere sul nostro peggior noi stessi! Il libro fa parte del progetto multimediale Democrazia Finanziaria (www.democraziafinanziaria.it) per mettere gli investitori nelle condizioni di fare scelte oculate e di applicare le strategie del libro, grazie all’integrazione con il sito www.finanze.net, che offre un’informazione e un’assistenza continua, oltre a una consulenza indipendente. Il progetto Democrazia Finanziaria ha come promuovere la crescita della cultura finanziaria, proporre strategie collaudate di successo, alla portata di tutti e a basso rischio, e fornire con i libri e il sito Finanze.net, uno strumento operativo multimediale all’investitore. L’AUTORE JAMES MONTIER è componente del team di asset allocation di GMO, società di gestione patrimoniale con sede a Boston (USA). Precedentemente è stato co-direttore del team di strategia globale della Société Générale, uno dei principali gruppi bancari dell’eurozona e per buona parte dell’ultimo decennio è stato l’investment strategist più quotato nel sondaggio annuale di Thomson Extel. Montier è l’autore di tre libri di Behavioral Insights into Irrational Minds and Markets; Behavioral A Practitioners Guide to Applying Behavioral Finance; e Value Tools and Techniques for Intelligent Investment. È anche ricercatore presso l’Università di Durham e la Royal Society of Arts. La stampa lo ha definito geniale, iconoclasta ed enfant terrible.
