Large U.S. Doesn’t Win Every Year, but They Won’t Even Look at International Value. Why?

Today, Dan talks about his experience at an investing workshop and explains how frustrating it is when the industry knows how to make a diversified portfolio, and that those portfolios would perform better than many of the products they offer, yet most investors come into PWI offices with a portfolio that is overweighted in large U.S. companies. Listen along to hear how the industry uses ratings, short-term past performance, and other emotional sales pitches to sell you yet another large U.S. fund, and why investors get sucked into investing in your “team” instead of taking an academic approach. Later in the episode, Evan brings a WSJ article about how investors who invested in private credit funds are losing big now that these private companies are defaulting on their loans.    Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?
