Eduardo Repetto, Ph.D., is the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Avantis Investors, where he is responsible for directing the research, design, and implementation of investment strategies for over $10 billion in factor-based ETFs and mutual funds. Prior to Avantis Investors' establishment in 2019, Eduardo was Co-Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Investment Officer, and Director at Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA funds).
In this podcast, we discuss Eduardo’s career, his successes at DFA and now at Avantis. The conversation centers on factor investing, and primarily small-cap value investing. What does the past data say, what's new in factor investing today, and does it make sense to consider this niche part of the equity market for a slice of your equity portfolio?
