Reviews

Mallika's holistic, systematic and rational framework is designed to take out the effect of market anxiety, data overload, human emotions and conditioning, while making investment decisions and create a prudent portfolio best suited for the investor's tastes, preferences and goals. The step-by-step approach is intuitive, easy to understand and uncomplicated to implement. Highly recommended reading for all investors. Narayan Naik, Professor of Finance, London Business School Mallika has impeccable academic credentials and could have written a book full of advanced financial maths. Instead she has the humility to give investors the tools they need to make their own way. Well done! Dominic Fisher O.B.E., Director, Thistledown Investment Management Ltd In a world where new or uncertain investors are inundated with avalanches of data, thought and opinions, How the Best Invest is a must-read. Mallika Paulraj has done a great job of dissecting and organizing the investment process. This book is filled with carefully curated nuggets that will help investors, unsure of investing, to develop a clear framework which will provide them with the confidence needed. Not a foolhardy confidence but one based on controlled thoughtfulness. Read, think and take control of your capital. Robert E. Robotti, President and C.I.O., Robotti & Company How the Best Invest is a brilliant exposition of the epistemology of investing and investors. It deftly distinguishes between what we know, what we think we know and what we merely profess to believe rather than admit to our own ignorance. It is a strongly flavorful distillation of modern investing practices made accessible to the individual investor. Dan diBartolomeo, President and Owner, Northfield Information Services, Inc Mallika has succeeded in writing a delightfully accessible, easy-to-understand book while covering a tremendous amount of ground. If you are looking to invest like the best investors in the world, this book will show you how. Very highly recommended! John Mihaljevic, C.F.A., Chairman, MOI Global I have spent a couple of decades developing a circle of competence around one asset class (equities), focused in one geography (U.S.A.) for one simple reason: investing is very hard. If you don't focus on accumulating relevant knowledge and design a structured process for your day-to-day activities, you will fail. It is extremely refreshing to see someone, with the experience and outstanding analytical skill as Mallika, saying something similar. Investors that have assets to protect - and hopefully grow - will benefit immensely by using the mental models and frameworks provided by this book. The investing journey is long, arduous and full of pitfalls: Mallika will help you reach the other side. Danilo Santiago, Founding Partner at Rational Investment Methodology Angel investors are spoilt for choice these days with innumerable investment opportunities open to them. Mallika's book proposes a systematic way of making investment decisions in the face of countless investment opportunities. Susanne Chishti, C.E.O., FINTECH Circle and Co-Editor of the FINTECH, WEALTHTECH and INSURTECH books How the Best Invest beautifully distils the author's extensive first-hand expertise as a successful practitioner and with a refreshingly accessible voice is a sheer delight to read. A treasure trove of insights, for the novice and professional alike! Shai Dardashti, Founder, Casulo Group The beauty of Mallika's book lies in putting the investor in the center of the action. Investing itself does not change much in time. It remains the same. The secret of mastering it lies in the knowledge of oneself and in the study of investment giants. This is Mallika's path, and we readers follow her, too. Daniel Gladis, Director, Vltava Fund Mallika's book needed to be written. In a sea of investing fog and confusion, Mallika provides the reader with a lighthouse for how to organize your financial life and make superior, rational decisions. How the Best Invest lifts the weight from the shoulders of all of those who are stressed by the myriad of financial choices facing them. A must read. Gary Mishuris, C.F.A., Managing Partner and C.I.O., Silver Ring Value Partners
