In this episode of What's the Risk we're joined by the CEO of Dimensional Australia Bhanu Singh. This is our second episode with Bhanu as we learn more about the "the biggest fund manager you've never heard of".

In this episode we take a look at the intricacies of the active vs passive debate, and find out Bhanu's definition of passive. Bhanu also explains how the flexibility of Dimensional's approach allows them to trust the market, but also not be tied to the rigidity of index tracking rules which can lead to higher trading costs, overweighting some stocks, or having a long delay before a stock is included in an index, potentially costing investors returns.

Dimensional have a deep research pedigree. Their founders and board members were part of some of the biggest developments in modern finance. David Booth and Rex Sinquefield were part of various groups who developed the first index funds at Wells Fargo and American National Bank, before leaving to start DFA where they then started Dimensional to build the first microcap fund for institutions.
