Episode notes
Humble Beginnings, Focused Conviction
- Brian Belski named his firm Humilus from the Latin for humble and emphasizes humility in investing.
- He pairs humility with conviction: know your 50-stock universe deeply rather than everything broadly.
Run A 50-Stock Core Portfolio
- Limit core large-cap portfolios to roughly 50 names so you can understand each holding.
- Use position sizes from about 1% to 6% to balance conviction and risk.
A Broader Bull Market Is Coming
- Belski expects market performance to broaden beyond Big Tech, lifting small-mid, value, and dividend-growth styles.
- Broadening will benefit cyclical sectors like financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary.
