New Book Shares Investment Guidance for the Newly Retired

Author tailor's strategies to retirees or self-directed investing using low-cost Exchange Traded Funds to build a portfolio

SINGAPORE, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new manual, created mainly for retired or soon-to-be retired persons offers retirement and investment planning in a do-it-yourself format. Instead of delving into intricate strategies or hidden risks, the book details a low-investment way to build a diversified portfolio to keep earning during retirement.

In "DIY RIP," author Attlee Hue uses case studies to illustrate key financial principles. His central premise is that financial and investment planning are distinct but interconnected. He adds that financial planning sets life goals, while investment planning provides the path to achieve them.

"I want to educate the newly retired on how they can manage their financial affairs," said Hue. "As society grows older and more affluent, many retirees find themselves suddenly responsible for managing substantial wealth with little financial expertise. The transition can be overwhelming, and financial advisers don't always align with the retiree's best interests, leaving many vulnerable to costly mistakes."

Hue was a lawyer for 15 years and then founded a private equity firm together with 3 others. He was responsible for managing over $500 million USD in assets, focusing on commercial real estate acquisition and investment strategy. He has been managing his own portfolio for 18 years and was able to retire at 41.

"A successful retirement requires a holistic financial plan," said Hune, "one that balances risk, return, and personal goals while ensuring sustainable income. Though plenty of books cover everything to do with retirement planning, this brings the pieces together in a simple, coherent framework designed specifically for retirees.":
