have a friend who is a serious investor. Having been an investment analyst for one of the major American investment banks, he is now semi-retired and confines his business activities to training a new generation of investment analysts on a self-employed basis. This is so he can concentrate more on running his
own not insubstantial share portfolio. What is interesting about his approach is that he is an active investor, investing directly in the shares of companies he has rigorously researched himself, yet if you ask him for advice on where to invest, he will unfailingly direct you to index linked funds.
