learn the basic terminology of "The Street" and how to
navigate it with the help of a user-friendly, long-range
investment strategy. Drawing on his own varied experience
as an economist, financial adviser, and successful
investor, Malkiel shows why an individual who buys over
time and holds a low-cost, internationally diversified
index of securities is still likely to exceed the
performance of portfolios carefully picked by
professionals using sophisticated analytical techniques.
In this newest edition, Malkiel has added material on
exchange-traded funds, investment opportunities in
emerging markets, and the pitfalls and prospects of the
latest investing trend, "smart beta." The book-s classic
life-cycle guide to investing, tailoring strategies to
investors of any age, will help you plan confidently for
the future.

The topic of trust has been a much discussed issue since
the recent global financial crisis. However, the
business world-s response has lagged behind and trust in
organizations and corporations remains low. This book
helps leaders create a trust-building strategy for a
globalized, technology-enabled, diverse, and increasingly
skeptical world. Through coaching exercises and
interviews with CEOs, combined with academic research,
The Trusted Executive provides the tools to build trust
through three key areas: ability, integrity, and
benevolence. It explains how to develop and measure
organizational trust, handle trust violations, and manage
a constantly changing work environment and diverse
workforce.
