Investment advisor Frank Armstrong is well-known for his book, "The Informed Investor: A Hype-Free Guide to Constructing a Sound Financial Portfolio" as well founding his own advisory firm. While Frank is a big fan of using funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors (which are only available to institutions and financial advisers), in his view this is as close to an ideal portfolio you can get which offers the best returns with the least amount of risk:

Andrew Tobias' "The Only Investment Guide You鈥檒l Ever Need" , While his book is more suited for the novice investor, I'm in agreement with many of the principles outlined in his book including the importance of saving, minimizing your expenses, building a rainy day fund, and investing in the market in a smart and efficient way. Of course, most of this is common sense. But, as we all know, common sense isn't very common.
Andrew Tobias' Three Fund Lazy Portfolio:
- 33.3% in Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX)
- 33.3% in Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VGTSX)
- 33.3% in Vanguard Inflation Protected Securities Fund (VIPSX)
William Bernstein, a neurologist by trade and well-known author of books like "The Four Pillars of Investing," has made a name for himself by being a vocal critic to the Wall Street establishment. And, like many others, Bernstein believes 1) you should stick with index funds with a risk-return profile that you desire, and 2) that properly diversified low cost funds offer you the best chance of long-term success.
