Why just be contrarian when you can bet against consensus and be right?
Through a meta-analysis of what moves markets and what drives human behavior, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Verdad Advisers, Dan Rasmussen, cuts through the 60/40 portfolio, exposing where empirical evidence shows the best opportunities―and where projections, models, and experts often fail―to create an asset allocation that can withstand the tests of time.
In this exploration of intellectual truths in investing, Dan’s research shows that the investor’s edge lies in fundamentals over forecasts, humility over hubris, and demonstrated rules over dogma.

I have been reading Daniel Rasmussen’s Verdad Capital research emails for the past eight years. When this book came up, it was a no-brainer to purchase. Rasmussen has a knack for cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of what actually works in investing, and The Humble Investor is no exception.This book does what most investment books fail to do—it doesn’t sell you a magic formula or pretend the future is predictable. Instead, Rasmussen lays out a compelling case for humility in investing, backed by data and historical analysis. He challenges the overconfidence that plagues the industry and makes a strong argument for disciplined, fundamentals-based investing.What I appreciate most is how he takes concepts that are often buried in academic finance papers or obscured by jargon and makes them both digestible and immediately useful. He doesn’t just tell you to be humble—he shows you why humility is an edge in markets that reward patience and punish arrogance.If you’re looking for an investing book that skips the hype and instead offers a data-driven, reality-based approach, The Humble Investor is worth your time. It’s not just another finance book; it’s a reminder of how much better we can be as investors when we acknowledge what we don’t know.

I have been in the Investment Management business for over four decades. I know and have read most of the good books in that time frame. The Humble Investor is a stand out book. Well researched, great thinking, and to the point. I would totally recommend it to anyone. Ted O.

I have been a longtime subscriber to the Verdad weekly research summary. Verdad is the research and asset management company that Dan Rasmussen founded. The Humble Investor does a great job of summarizing the evidence that supports the investment approach used by Verdad, as well as some of the currently popular views that history suggests will not produce good results. The evidence is presented in a very clear and understandable manner and I can enthusiastically recommend the book to anyone interested in improving their investment results.
