Frank Vasquez - Risk Parity Investing for the DIY Investor
The Security Analysis Podcast
The History of the Shiller PE
The Shiller PE was used to predict future performance of the market. But it's not a stable mean, so you don't know which one is coming first. Small-capped value can do its own thing and should be considered in valuation races.
Frank Vasquez is a retired lawyer with degrees in economics and engineering from Cal Tech and a law degree from Georgetown.
Frank’s focus is on risk parity investing for DIY investors. He believes in constructing portfolios of diversified asset classes to achieve a smoother and more reliable rate of return which helps maximize safe withdrawal rates during retirement. Additionally, these portfolios are useful for intermediate term goals or for those who simply want the behavioral benefit of reduced volatility.
He runs a great podcast called ‘Risk Parity Radio’ where he discusses risk parity investing concepts. On the podcast, he covers core investing concepts and answers questions from the audience. I highly recommend that you check out his podcast. It is very entertaining and contains a wealth of information.
Frank is an expert on the topic of risk parity. His podcast is a tremendous educational tool for anyone interested in this style of investing.
