Smallbig Money - Jonathan Smith. Learn how to invest from pension funds and insurance companies. Practical lessons for your personal finances and insights into professional investing.

Published by Pearson, coming February 2027

Clear, honest and practical, Big Small Money translates the strategies of major financial institutions into lessons you can use in your own financial life.

Pension funds and insurance companies use some of the most sophisticated and innovative strategies in finance, and in the more than twenty years I’ve worked in institutional investment I’ve been privileged to work with some of the smartest people in financial services, including leading fund managers and investment consultants.

In Big Small Money you’ll learn about the investment techniques used by these fascinating institutions and how to apply these to your own financial goals, whether that’s planning for retirement, paying off a mortgage or helping to pay for your children’s education. Along the way we’ll explore some of the most important and yet least well understood parts of our financial system, whose decisions affect the financial wellbeing of all of us.
