Description
Canada’s best-kept investment secret is out! In his first bestselling edition of The Power of Index Funds, investing expert Ted Cadsby introduced Canadians to a startling fact: more often than not, index mutual funds and other indexed products outperform actively managed funds. Now more and more investors are discovering that their long-term investment returns can be improved if their portfolios are built on a foundation of funds that mirror—rather than attempt to beat—the performance of stock and bond indexes.
In this revised addition, Cadsby demonstrates once again, with updated figures and recommendations, exactly why the indexing strategy is so powerful. And he gives investors detailed advice on how to construct a portfolio, what proportion of a portfolio should be indexed, and which index and complementary active mutual funds are likely to generate the best returns.

“Cadsby offers a wealth of practical advice on how to create index-based portfolios. It’s a keeper for any investor.”
Jade Hemeon, Toronto Star
“Ted’s case for indexing is buttressed by a powerful array of facts that would make any fair judge rule: ‘Case closed.’ Readers who first understand his advice and then follow it will be duly enriched.”
