"Taking the high road" generally refers to deliberately choosing a more honorable (and often more difficult) response to a difficult problem or situation. Usually the other choice is easier but lowers you as a person.
For instance, if someone insults you, taking the high road would be replying "I'm sorry for anything I might have said or done to have provoked you. I hope we can resolve this." Taking the low road would be to reply with an uncomplimentary statement about their mother.
In low-cost investing, presumably the author is presenting different investment strategies which have varying degrees of moral acceptability. For instance, "taking the high road to low-cost investing" might involve selectively investing in environmentally friendly businesses while passing over companies whose environmental or business ethics are in question (even if they would provide a good return).

I have to disagree with Bob...Typically taking the high road means taking the more ethical and moral approach to something
