October 20, 2022 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.

September 08, 2022 Show Us Your Portfolio: Ryan Krueger
We have looked at a variety of different investing strategies so far in our Show Us Your Portfolio series. We have talked to investors who use factor-based approaches. We have talked to investors who use trend following and managed futures. We have talked to investors who use passive approaches. But regardless of the approach any of us use in our personal portfolios, we can often lose sight of what we are actually trying to achieve. We can lose sight of the importance of aligning our portfolio with our purpose.
In this episode of Show Us Your Portfolio, we speak with our good friend Ryan Krueger of Freedom Day Solutions. We discuss how he aligns his personal portfolio with the most important things he is trying to achieve in his life. We work through his unique system of classifying his investments and how he uses that to connect his investments with his purpose in life.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

September 01, 2022 Everything Investors Need to Know About Federal Reserve Policy with Cullen Roche
There has been a lot of debate about Federal Reserve policy in the wake of the pandemic. But many of those involved in that debate want to promote a specific position and interpret the facts in a way to accomplish that goal. In this episode, we wanted to take a step back cover the facts about the Federal Reserve and how it operates. And we couldn't think of a better person to do that with than our friend Cullen Roche. We discuss the history of the Fed, what its mandates are, the tools it can use to achieve its goals, and how all of that applies to the situation we find ourselves in today.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
