This is amust-read bookfor not only investors but individuals, families and governments to understand retirement provision as well as college investments in a lucid demystifying fashion. I recommend it to all my pension fund and insurance clients globally. Written by someone with 30 years experience in pensions, investments and asset allocation this is required reading to understand how to invest for investments from basics. The six step approach is as good as any for both the specialist as well as the novice to learn about how to invest for the future. Zvi covers all the major risks for long-term as well as short-term investors by highlighting various instruments available for the retail investors. Pension reforms would have been even more successful if Zvi's messages had been read, understood and implemented even before. However, it is never too late too learn for people in their 50s and 60s when they expect to live until their late 80s and 90s. Zvi highlights pitfalls of incomplete understanding of basics of investments and pensions. I have seen many in the investments world who have fallen victims to not understanding these basics. The prescriptions in the book are applicable across US, Japan, Europe and Emerging Markets.
