This book boils down the most interesting insights and important lessons from the biggest and most powerful investors on earth -- the ones that literally put the capital in capitalism. It offers a glimpse into the thinking of capital allocators in a coherent and digestible format. It should be required reading for anybody interested in investing and certainly will be for my students!Ashby H. B. Monk, PhD, Executive Director, Global Projects Center, Stanford University
Unlike many 'invest like the best' books, Capital Allocators does not pretend there is some magical trick that will turn anyone into an investing genius. Instead, Ted Seides details how great investors do the hard work that leads to better outcomes. You won't get rich quick reading this book, but if you take the time to really understand the lessons it teaches, you will be a better, more thoughtful investor.Ben Inker, Head of Asset Allocation, GMO
