Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if there's a smarter way to invest beyond just buying what's going up and shorting what's going down? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating concept of Investment Base Pairs—a research-backed framework that could completely change how you think about portfolio strategy.


Join us as we break down insights from a groundbreaking paper by Christian Goulding and Campbell Harvey, exploring how traditional strategies like value, momentum, and carry can be deconstructed into simpler, more powerful components. Learn what base pairs are, how they work, and why understanding them could unlock better performance, sharper risk management, and a deeper grasp of what really drives returns.


Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting into the world of finance, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
