The final chapter of our groundbreaking documentary

A full-length documentary, How to Win the Loser's Game provides ordinary investors with the information they need, and challenges the investing industry to offer consumers a fairer deal.

In the final video in this series, we explore how the investment industry needs to change if it’s to serve investors better, and make a more valuable contribution to the economy and to society.

Why evidence, not emotion, should rule our investment decisions.

If you’ve ever wondered why we put so much emphasis on the cost of investing, this video explains why. Over 40 years, the typical effect of charges is to reduce your potential returns by more than two-thirds. Don’t believe us? Look at the figures.

Of course it’s possible for active fund managers to add value. But in practice, after costs, they very rarely do. Part of the problem, says Weston Wellington from Dimensional Fund Advisors, is there are far too many of them.

Evidence-based investing is founded on more than half a century of independent, peer-reviewed research. But, says Professor Jens Hagendorff, there are really just two key lessons that investors need to learn.

An interview with investing blogger, wealth manager and occasional Bogle critic Eric Nelson.

Our latest blog features Morgan Housel, award-winning columnist at the Motley Fool and Wall Street Journal. In this extended interview, Morgan explains why we still pay so much attention to market forecasts, despite a wealth of evidence that they’re more likely to hinder investors rather than help them.

For those of us campaigning for a fairer fund industry, and a bigger role for low-cost, evidence-based investing, the last few years have been a constant struggle. But 2014 has given us cause for optimism.

Being told to "rot in hell" because you campaign for a fairer, transparent investment industry isn't fun. But when the evidence is on your side it's a sign of progress, writes Robin Powell.

Journalists have a critical role to play in providing investors with useful and un-conflicted information. But with the media bias towards active funds, they have failed the consumer. It's time for change, argues Robin Powell.

Today’s consumers are usually quite savvy about how much they pay for things, but far too many of us still have a blind spot when it comes to fund charges.
