Investing Advice from Financial Engines Chief Invesment Officer Christopher L. Jones

Blueprint for Financial Prosperity has an excellent book review of “The Intelligent Portfolio,” a book written by Christopher L. Jones. Jones is Chief Investment Officer and Executive VP of Investment Management for Financial Engines. I am always interested in finding books written by successful people, and even put together a list of over a thousand books written by successful entrepreneurs and executives.

The book review highlights these ten investing tips from Jones:

1. Recognize the linkage between risk and reward
2. Avoid being deceived by history
3. Leverage the wisdom of the market
4. Select an appropriate risk level
5. Avoid the perils of stock picking
6. Don’t spend too much on investment fees
7. Diversify intelligently
8. Select funds using relevant forward-looking criteria
9. Understand how to realistically fund financial goals
10. Invest tax-efficiently

Awesome advice!
