Replicating Hedge Fund Strategies with Andrew Beer

Hedge funds are typically considered a place where high net worth investors can invest in sophisticated investment strategies that the average investor doesn't have access to. But that has changed in recent years. More and more strategies that have typically been deployed via hedge funds can now be accessed via liquid, lower fee vehicles like mutual funds and ETFs.  In this episode, we speak with Dynamic Beta Investments founder Andrew Beer, who has been a leader in this evolution. We discuss the hedge fund industry and how it has changed over time and look at how hedge fund strategies can be replicated via liquid vehicles like ETFs. We also cover a wide range of other topics including managed futures, the future of the value factor and the evolution of Warren Buffett over time.  We hope you enjoy the discussion.  ABOUT THE PODCAST Excess Returns is an investing podcast hosted by Jack Forehand (@practicalquant) and Justin Carbonneau (@jjcarbonneau), partners at Validea.
