At Peritus we have had a book club since 2017. It has led to great ideas on how to improve our investment and decision-making processes, while also very enjoyable as we learn together.
Below is one of the books that we have enjoyed and appreciated in recent years. We will continue to add new books and we would love to hear any recommendations you may have.
