Best investment book recommendations?
I just got an offer from EY in London but considering based on what the maternity policy is which doesn’t seem to be spelt out in contract or benefits pdf.

Lookup 3 fund lazy portfolio and tax efficient asset placement. You can find both topics on bogleheads.org. It gives you a super diversified portfolio spread across the world.

Started looking into alternative asset investment. I like the high yield notes you can fund (like a 9mo 14% APY note) but these companies are young-ish so we’ll see if they’re as good as advertised. Also, you need to be an accredited investor to do it
