What is elegant investing?

Elegant investing is a set of financial strategies which are easy to use and effective.

Many financial service providers want to make investing seem complex and confusing, so that you will pay high fees for their services. But the reality is, the most effective investing strategies are well-known and straight forward.

The goal of elegant investing is to empower you to manage your own money to get debt-free, save, and build wealth using primarily passive strategies.

Our approach is based on buying low-fee stock and bond market index funds and holding them for the long-term in tax-advantaged accounts.

Elegant investing will provide you with proven strategies for financial success, and the Elegant Investor book presents practical, actionable advice to fast-track you towards your goals.

Who can benefit?

Elegant investing is for those of all personal finance backgrounds, whether you are looking to pay off debt, invest for the first time, or build wealth. You do not need any prior experience or background to succeed with elegant investing.

We believe the Pareto Principle applies to personal finance, meaning you can learn 20% of all there is to know and get 80% of the benefit. Elegant investing is a strategic, step-by-step process. Once you learn and implement this process, you can continue to study finance, or choose instead to focus on other interests with the benefit of increased financial independence.

At Elegant Investor, we discuss the purpose, objectives, and implementation of financial strategies, as well as lessons learned, from our personal experience. We hope this context offers an inclusive viewpoint that encourages more women to feel part of a personal finance community.
