DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 36 Stratagens are a collection of the military tactics and strategies employed in ancient China. Many of the terms coined for the stratagems have evolved into popular proverbs. More often than not, reverse psychology and divergent thinking are tactics used to take the enemy by surprise. In our attempt to incorporate such tactical moves into fund investment, we discover they make the key rationales for fund investment so much easier to comprehend and relate to. This book uses each of the 36 Stratagems to guide investors on how to identify and pick a trustworthy fund company as well as a suitable fund product, how to earn higher returns and avoid unnecessary losses, as well as how to avoid all sorts of common mistakes. —from the Forword by Steve Lee Investor education is not merely about how many lessons can be taught; but how much investors can learn from each lesson. This book combines modern investment and ancient Chinese wisdom in plain language and with interesting stories. It explores investment concepts yet opens your mind and shows you a new way of understanding fund investing. —Mark McCombe, Global Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Global Asset Management There is an old saying, "Gain knowledge for the preservation of wealth." Funds create value, and knowledge of funds will similarly enable investors to create value. The value of knowledge is no less important than the value of capital. For that reason, 36 Stratagems for Investors has set out to show the value of knowledge as a way to capital accumulation and preservation. Readers will benefit from stratagems explained in every page of the book to aid them in their financial investment. —Qin Shuo, Chief Editor, China Business News HSBC Jintrust’s 36 Stratagems for Investors is an eye-opener for readers, investors and non-investors alike. HSBC Jintrust has done an impressive job of creating a book with the retail investors in mind; as it puts itself in their shoes to explore issues and solutions as they would. Each of the 36 stratagems is clearly and succinctly told and explained to allow prompt application. May the stratagems depicted in this book gain popularity to become part of the fund culture and investment culture in China, to enable tens of millions of investors to profit by it. —Liu Dong, Deputy Editor, 21st Century Business Herald

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFour hundred years of Roman military strategy in the palm of your hand The choice of these two works – Stratagems and On Military Matters in one volume allows the reader a bookend of Roman military theory and style. Stratagem was written in the first century AD by noted engineer and soldier, Sextus Julius Frontius. Rather than a specific outline of tactics, it is examples of strategies employed by other generals over time that could be, presumably learned by commanders and applied as the situation arose. This is somewhat similar to the style Plutarch uses in describing the lives of the notable Greeks and Romans in his book, Parallel Lives. On Military Matter, on the other hand, was written near the end of the western Empire in the fourth century AD, as a manual of how an army should be organized and used. Little is known about its author, Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, beyond this work and another on veterinary medicine.
