Larry Swedroe's "Your Complete Guide to Factor-Based Investing" delves into the world of factor investing, a strategy that focuses on identifying and exploiting specific factors that drive returns in the stock market. The book provides a comprehensive overview of various factors, including value, size, momentum, and quality, and explains how to construct portfolios that leverage these factors to enhance returns and manage risk. Swedroe emphasizes the importance of diversification and cost-effective investing, advocating for low-cost index funds and ETFs. The book also includes numerous references to academic research and empirical evidence, supporting the claims and recommendations made throughout. It is a valuable resource for both novice and experienced investors seeking to improve their investment strategies.
This episode is the first part II our Show Us Your Portfolio series. When we originally spoke to Larry Swedroe, we were very intrigued by his use of illiquid alternatives within his portfolio. But we didn’t have time in the original interview to dig into the details of his strategy and the individual components of it. In this interview, we correct that. We discuss Larry’s overall view of alternatives, the unique sources of risk he uses within his portfolio and how he combines them together to build an optimal portfolio.
