About the Author Matt Hall is the cofounder and president of Hill Investment Group; the leading evidence-based investment advisor to successful families. HIG helps investors simplify their lives and take the long view. In addition, Matt has led training for other top wealth managers, created new evidence-based mutual funds, and hosts the popular podcast Take the Long View. Odds On is his first book. Matt lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife, Lisa, and their daughter, Harper. Evidence Is the Key to Investment SuccessOdds On: The Making of an Evidence-Based Investor isnt just another investment advice book. Its a memoir, a manifesto, and a guide to the way investing should be. Odds On describes author Matt Halls role in an ongoing revolution in the investment world: the shift from a traditional sales-driven, active-management model to a model that draws on academic evidence to better serve the real interests of investors. Matts story begins with his first exposure to Wall Street, where he becomes disillusioned with the traditional investing model due to its inability to truly help clients. He stumbles into the emerging evidence-based investing world, and learns how to help investors reach their goals through methods that reflect the limits of our abilities to predict which investments will deliver the highest returns. Matts unique approach to investing is built on a dual foundation of knowledge and purpose: knowledge gained through evidence-based strategies involving research, data, and logic, and purpose gained by personal reflection on what money and success truly mean. In Odds On, Matts storytelling makes financial topics truly relevant and easy to understand, while his investment philosophy offers readers a chance to move beyond decisions based on anxiety and confusion, and manage wealth in ways that lead to greater success and a richer life. Review This is not a book...its a gift to every investor who has ever wondered if there is a better way! -Carl Richards, The New York Times Sketch Guy and author of The Behavior Gap Investing can be scary, but it really shouldnt be. Matt Hall tells his personal and professional story in a way that draws readers in and encourages us to ask what we want from our money. Wealth for its own sake is boring, but wisely stewarded, it can do great things. Odds On is about figuring out how to make those great things happen. -Laura Vanderkam, author of I Know How She Does It, 168 Hours, and What the Most Successful People Do Before BreakfastOdds On follows the personal journey that sparked a professional epiphany for investor Matt Hall, and he gives us every reason to change the way we invest our hard-earned money. With this one-part memoir and one-part call to action, Hall pokes holes in the traditional Wall Street model of money management and humanizes the idea of evidence-based investing as a solution. -Julie Macintosh, author of Dethroning the King and award-winning journalist Successful investing often comes down to having a strong philosophy you can stick with. In Odds On, Matt Hall shows how more than fifty years of modern finance have provided insight into how financial markets work. Investors who develop and apply a strong philosophy based on these principles can improve their odds of long-term financial success. -David Booth, chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Dimensional Fund Advisors
