Meet with PWL Capital: calendly.com/d/cpws-jyp-znp
In this episode, we unpack key tenants of investing and the quality of financial advice in Canada's banking industry. In our conversation, we present a list of lessons we have learned about investing, which has been consolidated from contributions by the Twitter community and the Rational Reminder Community. In our conversation, we discuss ways to beat the market, how narratives can impact the economy, and why timing the market is a bad investment approach. Discover why performance chasing is not a successful strategy, why incentives matter, and why economic growth is a poor predictor of investment success. Learn about the nuanced relationship between expected economic growth and stock returns, why wealth does not give you access to market-beating investments, and the effectiveness of investing in low-cost total market index funds. Finally, in our after-show segment, we delve into the quality of fifinancial advice provided by Canada's six big banks, investment strategies, listener reviews, and much more. Gain valuable insights into navigating the complexities of investing and learn why simplicity, discipline, and skepticism towards overly complex or costly strategies are vital for financial success.

amazing episode! you guys are great. Big thanks from Italy

@mr_rip Месяц назад

Amazing episode,, amazing list! I was expecting at least an entry about "individual bonds vs bond ETFs" (a topic I'm exploring at the moment), but I'll keep waiting :) I love the new "setup" (with Mark), but my "risk management mental processor" tells me "wait, does it mean Cameron wants to retire?" Please don't! And of course I like (a lot, maybe even more that the others) your guestless episodes, with deep dives and rationality buffet. and, of course, thanks for the mention :) P.S. update the end screen on RU-vid (add Mark!)

Ben had a great video on bond diversification that convinced me to mix domestic and international aggregate bond ETFs when the goal is stabilizing a portfolio, and use individual bonds/GICs for short term investing for expected near-future purchases. Edit: the video is Bond Funds vs. GICs

I'm curious as to how would you go about explaining the returns of multi-manager platforms such as Millenium, Schonfeld, Balyasny, Citadel, Point72, etc. Given that, in theory, their returns are factors constrained and Beta neutral.

With respect to diversification the insight provided by prof. Scott Cederburg is still reverberation in my head: diversification of equity denominated in different currencies with a home country bias protecting purchasing power better than diversification with bonds.

@rossmacintosh5652 Месяц назад

When in the aftershow the banks were discussed, I was struck by my perception that the Canadian insurance companies (big into offering employers retirement savings platforms for their employees) are perhaps even more corrupt with their investment offerings. Often a new employee is given nothing more than a select list of funds to choose from with absolutely no discussion or advice. Sadly many employees almost blindly select their investments and then think they've addressed their retirement planning. They then let the years go by without any review or consideration of their actual needs or objectives. At least with the banks there's usually someone to talk to.

@MarkMcGrathCFP Месяц назад

I think it would be interesting for firms to hire a financial advisor/planner internally, and have them work only with employees of the company. Would likely increase loyalty to the company, improve employee outcomes, ensure they have appropriate insurance, etc.

@rossmacintosh5652 Месяц назад

@@MarkMcGrathCFP Mark, while companies like Sun Life do have staff who can give advice, in my experience reality is that most new employees aren't offered much personalised information or help with the many decisions. Sadly many just don't bother even when there's a generous match. It really does seem there is an opportunity for fee-only advisors to provide financial planning seminars to companies. No doubt a challenge would be having the advise constrained by the group plans many employers already have in place. Still, there's lots of education that could help employees. Finding employers who'd pay for a seminar might be difficult.

I have been investing for 4 years, I'm up 900%, mostly on swing trades. All I do is look at actual real world usefulness of a relatively small company and buy when they are cheap or some panic selling happened, usually rotating over a few. It's so odd, this seems easy, but then I hear Felix, who is clearly very smart, saying this is impossible... It really makes me wonder if I'm delusional or something, it really is easy to know good companies and rationally buy capitalizing on others emotions. Most of the work is actually risk management.

@andrewfriedrichs9340 Месяц назад

What is the market actually predicting? Company performance? stock price? people's perception of companies? is it predicting its own future predictions? When AMC was $230 was the market right? The answer can be yes, what I don't know is what was it right about? Me thinking the price was silly doesn't mean I could make money. The lesson for me is that short term prices are very rarely based on fundamentals.

@victormanuelmendezfonseca6033 Месяц назад

OK Ben so if everyone or the majority of investors out there followed your advice and just bought the low cost broad index fund wouldn't it become easier for the good fund managers to consistently beat them? Wouldn't the market become more predictable and less efficient? For your strategy to win in the long term don't you need this consistent group of people who don't follow your strategy? Otherwise who would you get ahead of?
