Show Notes
Tune in to hear:
- What is all weather investing and what are its behavioral underpinnings?
- Does Eric strategically rebalance the all weather portfolios or are the allocations fairly static? If they are dynamic, what signals do they look for when making a change?
- What is the trend-oriented global macro program that Eric implements?
- How can one strike a balance between the realities of trying to sell product, run a business and make their clients happy with this very measured, all weather approach?
- Why do alts often fall short of their promise and how does Eric strive to be very different in his approach to alternative investments?
- Eric thinks that markets and trend can be a canary in the coal mine for larger events. How does he think this plays out broadly and on a more granular level?
- Why led Eric to using a very systematic approach to investing?
- Eric describes himself as a bit pessimistic - what steps does he put in place to help him overcome this pessimism when considering allocations?
- Many experts think that a classic 60/40 model might not best serve us going forward. What has caused them to question something with such a long and successful track record and what would it take for them to change their minds about this?
