Risk Parity Radio Episode 263: A Common Modeling Mistake, Low Beta Funds, And Fun With Finland
In this episode we answer emails from R.J., Mark and Jaako. We discuss how amateur investors doing projections often double-count inflation accidently and apply inappropriate tax rates, using low-beta funds in portfolio construction, and ETFs designed to combat inflation in Finland and elsewhere.
Note I misspoke and the USMV low-beta portfolio does better than the two created in Mark's backtests.
