All too often, when investors go in search of investment advice, they are met
with television personalities and so-called investment "gurus" who do little
more than push the latest and greatest scheme to retire rich. Your retirement
funds-in the form of IRAs, 401(k)s, SEP or Simple IRAs, and other plans you
can direct to some degree-are, however, far too precious to bet on the latest
scheme, trend, or tip you heard at a party. In Invest Like an Institution:
Professional Strategies for Funding a Successful Retirement, Michael
Schlachter provides individual investors with the tools they need to build a
portfolio that not only protects their wealth but helps it grow for the long
term. Result? A comfortable retirement in which you can pursue your dreams
and check "bucket list" items off at your leisure.

As an advisor to large pension funds and endowments, Michael Schlachter
counts among his clients the elite. Institutional investors like the
retirement systems of states and major companies, as well as the largest
university endowments, are among the few that consistently outperform the
market. Sure, average retail investors can't make the same types of private
deals in real estate, private equity, or hedge funds that institutional
investors use to reap large returns or offset market volatility. But as this
book demonstrates, you can replicate in your own portfolio the very same
diversification strategies that large funds employ to achieve long-term
gains. To that end, Invest Like an Institution shows how to build a
portfolio that is every bit as diversified and risk-controlled as a
multi-billion-dollar institutional fund-and a portfolio more likely to
result in a happy, financially secure retirement.

Designed specifically for the individual investor, Invest Like an Institution will appeal to active investors and savers of all ages, from Baby Boomers who are closing in on retirement to young adults who are struggling to determine the proper way to manage their investments and direct their asset allocation mix.
