Episode notes

The research seems to show that undervaluation leads to excess returns going out to about five years. But the returns are asymptotic, which means there's a smaller amount in the first year and then less later on. The challenge for hold for ever investors is that they have to find something that is predictive beyond five years.

Robert Leonard chats with Tobias Carlisle about the global economy, market assessment, value investing opportunities, mean reversion trades, quality assessment in deep value strategies, using screeners, and more!

Tobias Carlisle is the founder of The Acquirer’s Multiple®. He is also the founder of Acquirers Funds® which manages ZIG, the Acquirers Fund, and DEEP, the Roundhill Acquirers Deep Value Fund.
