How I Tilt My Portfolio With Factors

On this episode of Stock Spotlight, Michael pulls back the curtain on how he personally invests with factors. Instead of spotlighting one company, he explains how he layers factor ETFs on top of his core index exposure - building what he calls a 3-layer cake portfolio: S&P 500 base, factor tilts for extra flavor, stock picks on top for fun.You’ll learn about the major factors (size, value, momentum and more), why they’ve delivered long-term premiums and how Michael blends them into his own portfolio construction. He also covers the hard part: the patience and discipline it takes to stick with factors when they underperform for years at a time.----------------------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro00:45 What is Factor Investing03:00 The 8 Factors Explained13:57 What I Actually Own17:52 Why Factor Investing Is Harder Than It Sounds19:42 Practical Takeaways23:47 Outro----------------------------------------------------------------Intro Music: Andrey Rossi – Seize the DayOutro Music: Ra – Prospect*Music provided by Uppbeat PremiumFollow me on X: https://twitter.com/invest091Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@stockspotlightpodcast----------------------------------------------------------------Disclosure: The host of Stock Spotlight is not a licensed financial advisor.
