About This Episode
For the past eleven episodes, I was joined by my co-host, Marcelo Taboada, and we covered the groundwork for becoming an empowered investor and what you need to put in place to have a successful long-term financial outcome.
For the next part of the story of the empowered investor, I’ll be joined by my new co-host, Ruben Antoine, Portfolio Manager and Lead Client Advisor at Tulett, Matthews & Associates. Ruben is sharing his personal story as we move deeper into the investment side of things, starting with why we’re passionate about the evidence-based investment approach.
On this episode, Ruben and I talk about what we can learn from his personal story and journey into finance, how he came to recognize the flaws in the active money management approach, why hedge funds are often unable to measure up to expectations, the benefits of evidence-based investing, the key principles of evidence-based investing, and so much more!
