Safe Haven
Spitznagel · 2021 · 240 pages
What is a safe haven?
What role should they play in an investment portfolio? Do we use them only to seek shelter until the passing of financial storms? Or are they something more? Contrary to everything we know from modern financial theory, can higher returns actually come as a result of lowering risk? In Safe Haven, hedge fund manager Mark Spitznagel—one of the top practitioners of safe haven investing and portfolio risk mitigation in the world—answers these questions and more. Investors who heed the message in this book will never look at risk mitigation the same way again.

“"OK, OK, my reply to the recommended list of summer reads: 1) A practical (short) manual of Latin grammar. 2) Corto Maltese (complete collection, preferably the Ballad of the Salty Sea in text form) 3) Safe Haven by Spitznagel [it can also be read in the winter & other seasons]"”↗
