Phil holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) designation and is the host of the ETF Experience and the Phil Bak Podcast.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why might the market be rallying in spite of the Coronavirus being worse than ever, unemployment rates at an all time high and political divisiveness is explosive?

  • When is the right time to “check the math” on how enduring a factor is or something like discounted cash flows or fundamental analysis? How do we know when the world may have shifted so fundamentally, that certain market principles are no longer viable?

  • The dangers of tying yourself entirely to quantitative and empirical methods of investing and what role “faith” might play in a successful investment strategy

  • What are some potentially immutable principles of good investing?

  • How humility plays a key role in a sound investment plan, regardless of your preferred approach to investing

  • What are some potential upsides to reverse weighted ETFs?

  • Phil started an ETF shop that he has since exited - what are some of the lessons he learned / takeaways and why does he consider it both a success and a failure?
