PRAISE FOR BIG SMALL MONEY
What people are saying about the book…
“This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to learn the skills used by the industry’s biggest investors and apply them to their own thinking. Jonathan takes his years of experience and simplifies it down to be applicable for those more engaged in improving their own financial skills.”
– Dan Morris, Head of Investment, Public Markets, Schroders
“At a time when too many are struggling with financial confidence, this book stands out by opening up the world of investing with clarity, honesty and real-world relevance. Jonathan skilfully equips readers with the tools and confidence to make smarter, more informed decisions.”
– Juliet Gouldman, Head of Strategic External Engagement at Barclays
“I’ve long believed and argued that almost anyone can build real long-term wealth: By taking the time to understand capital markets, by owning the right mix of assets, and by giving them time to compound. Too many people don’t save at all, or leave their money languishing in cash, and forgo a lifetime of potential returns as a result. Big Small Money is a compelling antidote to that reality. Jonathan Smith makes the case with real authority, translating the strategies of major institutional investors into practical lessons an engaged reader can put to use. A rewarding book for those who want to understand investing properly, and are willing to spend a little bit more time than the average person looking at the many important concepts Jonathan covers.”
–Andrew Craig, Founder of Plain English Finance Limited, and author of How to Own the World, Live on Less, Invest the Rest and How to Own the World Before You’re 30
“This engaging book explains in accessible terms how private investors can exploit techniques used by the professionals to improve their own financial outcomes. Provides fascinating insights into the multi-trillion dollar world of institutional fund management.”
– Jonathan Guthrie, FT Financial Thinking columnist
“Ever wondered how the big investors invest? Want to replicate the way they think and act, while avoiding the pitfalls? Then look no further than Big Small Money.”
– Chris Wagstaff, Senior Visiting Fellow, Finance Faculty, Bayes Business School; Independent Pension Scheme Trustee; Investment Committee Chair
“Big Small Money combines fascinating anecdotes, sound guidance and Jonathan’s considerable expertise into a framework that can help investors of all sizes, Big or Small. The 8th sin of investing is surely not to read this book.”
– David Hickey FCA, Head of UK Institutional, Momentum Global Investment Management
“Jonathan has a unique ability to bring together much accumulated knowledge across financial analysis, actuarial mathematics and research, and then apply common sense to make financial thoughts both explainable and accessible to everyone. In his own way he’s able to distil investment thinking into simple philosophies for investors to apply. This book brings together many of Jonathan’s learnings over the years from the world of institutional investment so that people can easily understand what they should, and crucially should not, consider when it comes to investing.”
– Alistair Jones, Senior Managing Director Business Development, Leadenhall Capital Partners
“I wish I had access to a book like this earlier in my financial journey. Jonathan takes money management methods usually reserved for major institutions and makes them practical and accessible for individuals. This is what makes Big Small Money so valuable: it gives you professional-level thinking to avoid costly mistakes and make better decisions with your money.”
– Joel Coren, Founder and CEO, Verseprop Digital Assets
