Mike Oyster offers unique strategies for investor outperformance

Mike Oyster's Mission Possible is a smart book written by an intelligent man at a time when the investment industry is at a critical crossroads due to today's low return environment. Given Oyster's extensive experience in both the institutional and retail investment arenas, he is able to provide a unique insight and strong recommendations for both institutional and retail investors to enhance their returns. Oyster's careful analysis of new investment strategies within a modern asset allocation framework is of particular importance to the institutional investor seeking better-than-benchmark returns with only a slight increase in overall portfolio risk. For the retail investor, Oyster makes it painstakingly clear why retail investors are considered the "cash cow" of the investment industry, providing huge windfalls for the industry and below benchmark returns for the vast majority of investors. Oyster also introduces advanced concepts for retail investors to improve their portfolio's performance through the use of derivatives and exchange traded funds (ETFs). In sum, this book provides useful strategies that both institutional and retail investors can apply to their portfolios in an effort to produce superior returns.
