I felt very privileged sitting back each evening and absorbing all the insights and great experiences shared by the inspiring people interviewed in this book.
As a busy CEO of a successful business, Brett Kelly is very generous with the time he has dedicated to writing Investment Wisdom. The Australian financial services industry is a fascinating reality which doesn’t always get the prominence it merits. Testament to this observation are the stories shared by this book’s interviewees: a host of creators, pioneers and brave luminaries who have excelled in listed equities and private equity.
When should you buy a company? When should you sell? How important are people in a business? What qualities should they possess? Is money alone the key to a successful project? Is trust important? How does one successfully balance work with one’s private life? How important is giving? Should a company celebrate its success?
There can be few people better placed to respond to these key questions (and more) than the seasoned professionals interviewed in this must-read.

Perceptive
Good interviews from some managers that are not interviewed often. Well written and perceptive interview questions from Brett. Thank you and look forward to the next edition.

Great read for any Australian personal investor. Many investment books are based in America, so this one was one that was FINALLY a entered around the Australian market.

Love this interview-style kind of book. It feels so real, from how the CEOs told their story, what made them success and few key mottos that keep them succeed.

Few spelling mistakes (I know that not necessarily the author’s fault). Lacks depth (and examples) in the interviews
