Chris Pedersen joins Paul to discuss the 2023 update to his Best-in-Class ETF recommendations.  Chris explains the selection process and why the DFA International Value ETF (DFIV) is replacing the iShares EFV fund for the international large-cap blend asset class.  They cover the recommended portfolios, the philosophy they are built on, the asset classes they use, and the specific funds they recommend for each asset.  Chris and Paul then cover several questions that listeners may have about their next steps or alternatives not covered.
