In this episode, Abraham Okusanya sits down with Laurentius van den Worm, Head of Investment Strategy at Timeline, for a deep dive into the thinking behind global market cap weighting. They explore whether global equity investing still makes sense in a world where the US dominates, discuss behavioural biases that influence allocation decisions, and unpack the role of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” companies in shaping global returns.

Laurentius shares insights on why global market cap remains a powerful equilibrium point, how profitability and value factors play into long-term performance, and what investors can learn from market concentration, currency risk, and diversification. It’s a thoughtful conversation on the collective wisdom of markets and what it really means to be a global investor.
