This book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary framework for navigating the complexities of modern investing in an era of global upheaval and radical paradigm shifts. Drawing on the author's senior leadership at China's sovereign wealth fund (CIC) and teaching at Tsinghua University, it challenges traditional linear assumptions and offers a resilient investment philosophy for a VUCA world.
Investment Thinking identifies six critical "anomalies"-from network effects to systemic entropy-that render conventional economic models inadequate. To counter these, the author proposes a "latticework" of seven diversified thinking models, inspired by Charlie Munger, to help investors decode nonlinear growth and irrational market behavior.
By blending theoretical rigor with institutional best practices, this volume analyzes the eight major macroeconomic shifts reshaping our landscape-including energy transitions and digital transformation. It is an essential guide for professional investors and institutional allocators seeking to build robust, research-driven "patient capital" amidst unprecedented global uncertainty.
