Charles D. Ellis is an American investment consultant and author best known for Winning the Loser's Game, an influential argument for low-cost, long-term index investing.

Charles Ellis founded the financial consulting firm Greenwich Associates and has advised many of the world’s largest institutional investors over a long and distinguished career.

His classic Winning the Loser’s Game argues that, for most investors, trying to beat the market is a “loser’s game” in which success comes from minimizing mistakes and costs — chiefly by holding low-cost index funds for the long term. The book has become a cornerstone of the case for passive investing.

Ellis is widely respected as one of the most thoughtful voices in investment management and a leading advocate of disciplined, low-cost investing.
