The first of its kind, Nofsinger provides an overview of our corporate governance system in a flexible, modular format. Today, the term "corporate governance" is familiar to almost everyone. Unfortunately, its familiarity in our society comes about because of revelations of one shocking corporate scandal after another: executives caught pilfering from their firms; accountants helping companies doctor their financial numbers; analysts irresponsibly hyping internet stocks. Nofsingeris organized into chapters that discuss each corporate governance mechanism. Every chapter is organized in the same way, and each chapter is self-contained. Each chapter begins with a detailed overview of the monitor or monitoring mechanism, and then highlights potential problems.

Corporate Governance, in its flexible, modular format, sheds light on these recent problems and scandals through a detailed explanation of the corporate governance mechanism, and the various incentives within today’s governance system, while offering potential solutions in context.

Mutual funds became popular in the 1920's as a way for smaller investors to get the benefits of having professional managers creating diversified portfolios. But even from the beginning, mutual funds had structural flaws that created disappointing long-term performance, thereby harming the financial well-being of millions of mutual fund investors. Some of these flaws include high costs, embedded capital gains, hidden costs, over-diversification, lack of transparency, and even sneaky behavior. Mutual Funds Exposed is an engaging, easy-to-read expose that rips the cover off an industry that commands trillions of dollars of investor savings, and clearly shines a bright light on these pitfalls of mutual funds. It also provides a glimpse into alternatives that investors can choose that give them the investing advantages that ultra-wealthy investors and institutions have enjoyed for decades. This is a must-read for any investor who wants to achieve financial freedom.
