A practical framework for thinking about mutual funds

John C. Bogle’s guide brings together two strands: the fundamentals of mutual fund investing and a critique of how the industry has changed, including structural and regulatory shifts. Its central investment argument favors simplicity, lower costs, and broad diversification over costly complexity. Those recommendations are Bogle’s, presented as principles for building a portfolio across different market conditions—not as a guarantee of results. The updated second edition revisits a field with a wider array of investment choices than when the book first appeared, giving the discussion both a portfolio-building focus and an industry perspective.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Investors seeking an introduction to mutual fund fundamentals and portfolio construction.
  • Readers interested in Bogle’s case for low-cost, broadly diversified investing.
  • Those who want context on changes in the mutual fund industry.

Since the first edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds was published in 1999, much has changed, and no one is more aware of this than mutual fund pioneer John Bogle. Now, in this completely updated Second Edition, Bogle returns to take another critical look at the mutual fund industry and help investors navigate their way through the staggering array of investment alternatives that are available to them.

Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this reliable resource examines the fundamentals of mutual fund investing in today's turbulent market environment and offers timeless advice in building an investment portfolio. Along the way, Bogle shows you how simplicity and common sense invariably trump costly complexity, and how a low cost, broadly diversified portfolio is virtually assured of outperforming the vast majority of Wall Street professionals over the long-term.
