Join us for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked yet powerful forces in investing: profitability. In this episode, we unpack research that positions profitability not just as another factor, but potentially the key to understanding a range of popular investment styles—quality, defensive, and value. We explore how this single concept might simplify the way we view the "factor zoo," cutting through complexity and marketing noise.

Discover why profitability could be the master key to constructing smarter, more efficient portfolios, and how it connects seemingly disparate strategies under one unifying framework.

If you're looking to refine your investment approach or just make sense of all the buzzwords in the finance world, this one's for you.
