His latest work, “Your Essential Guide to Sustainable Investing,” was co-authored with Samuel C. Adams and published in April 2022. More of his books include “What Wall Street Doesn’t Want You to Know” (2001), “Rational Investing in Irrational Times” (2002), “The Successful Investor Today” (2003), “Wise Investing Made Simple” (2007), “Wise Investing Made Simpler” (2010), “The Quest for Alpha” (2011), “Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett” (McGraw-Hill, 2012), “Your Complete Guide to Factor-Based Investing: The Way Smart Money Invests Today” with Andrew Berkin (Buckingham, 2016) and “Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement” with Kevin Grogan (2019, second edition 2021).

In his role as chief research officer and as a member of the investment policy committee at Buckingham Wealth Partners, Swedroe regularly reviews the findings published in dozens of peer-reviewed financial journals, evaluates the outcomes and uses the result to inform formal investment strategy recommendations.
