Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Pedersen

Der er bål og brand i Frankrigs gader og stræder - igen. Alene i Paris er 780 personer blevet anholdt, 219 er kommet til skade, otte er indlagt i kritisk tilstand, og én person er død. Pourquoi, tænker du nok. Er det en ny demonstration? Handler det om mere i løn? Nej, det handler blot om, at det franske fodboldhold Paris Saint-Germain endnu en gang har vundet den mægtige Champions League-turnering. Men hvorfor i alverden sætter deres fans så ild til gaderne - og var det nu nødvendigt at skyde fyrværkeri efter hinanden? Det undersøger Gustav Hagild og Mikael Jalving i denne uges Første række, hvor vi også skal omkring Rusland som kolonimagt, bagsiden af reality-medaljen og hvad der sker, når man piller ved filmhistorien. Ugens gæst er Chris Pedersen. Redaktion: Nanna Sloth Skardhamar, Otto Christian Korse Lyddesign: Martha Winther Redaktør: Thomas Vinther Larsen

In the final episode of the 2026 Boot Camp series, Paul Merriman sits down with Chris Pedersen and Daryl Bahls to tackle the last fork in the road every investor faces: how to and how much automation to use. After all the boot camp decisions — stocks versus bonds, which equity asset classes, how much fixed income, how to handle contributions and withdrawals — the final question is how much of the day-to-day management you should hand off to a tool, and which tool is right for you.Chris walks through how M1 Finance “pies” let buy-and-hold investors put their portfolios on autopilot: automated contributions, on-the-fly rebalancing as new money comes in, fractional shares, and one-button rebalancing. He explains the pre-configured Merriman portfolios — the Ultimate Buy and Hold, Worldwide and US Four-Fund, All Value, All Small Cap Value, and the Aggressive Target Date glide path in five-year increments — and an important limitation: once you grab a pie, there’s no live link back to the source, so website updates won’t change your account.Paul then makes the case for Fidelity’s Basket Portfolios as an alternative, especially for anyone uneasy about moving large sums to a younger company. He covers the flat $4.99-per-month fee regardless of account size, eligible account types, the TFLO short-term Treasury workaround for holding cash, and why Fidelity may fit investors already in the Fidelity ecosystem. The team compares trading windows, account minimums and how each firm counts the $10,000 threshold, and Daryl shares that M1 has grown from about $1 billion in 2020 to roughly $12.5 billion in assets under management.The conversation closes with practical guidance on mixing and matching Sound Investing portfolios, the question everyone’s asking — “how long do I have to wait for small cap value?” — a reminder not to flail or chase recent performance, why the 10-fund Ultimate Buy and Hold strategy still stands, and a clear explanation of the move from AVUS to AVLC and where AVSC fits.CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro03:10 - M1 Finance13:45 - Fidelity Baskets24:27 - Portfolio Combos29:55 - When to Change Allocations42:44 - AVLC vs. AVUS45:15 - OutroLINKS:Sound Investing Portfolio PiesM1 Finance Pie Tutorial (Mobile App)M1 Finance Pie Tutorial (Web Interface)

Paul sits down with Chris Pedersen and Daryl Bahls for the first Q&A session in months — and this one is built around the questions readers and listeners ask most often. Chris and Daryl share what they're working on next (Best-in-Class ETF updates, Target Date Fund work, telltale charts, risk-adjusted return analysis), Paul talks about a smarter way to use AI for the questions outside our wheelhouse, and the team works through six reader questions about portfolio design — from combining model portfolios to choosing between fund families.If you've ever wondered whether your portfolio is "right," this conversation will help you think about it the way Chris and Daryl do.8:30 — Should I combine the Worldwide Four Fund, U.S. Four Fund, and Worldwide All Value with a small cap value tilt?16:00 — How do I read the Sound Investing tables to compare portfolios?30:30 — Worldwide All Small Cap Value vs. the U.S. Two Fund — which is better?38:15 — My Vanguard Four Fund uses VOO, VTV, VB, and VBR — am I using the right ETFs?41:30 — How do Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, DFA, and Avantis compare on size and value exposure?46:30 — How do I get help with Merriman portfolios when I need it?Table B2 Table H2 Fine Tuning Tables Portfolio ConfiguratorYou'll get the full answers, the data behind them, and Chris and Daryl's reasoning by watching or listening.Watch the video here- https://youtu.be/BdTNOkALpuQ

Donald Trump har skiftet de ikoniske fyldepenne i Det Hvide Hus ud med speciallavede Sharpies, med guldfarvet signatur og det hele. Hvor tidligere præsidenter brugte elegante penne til at underskrive lovgivning og give dem videre som historiske souvenirs, foretrækker Trump en sort tusch til fem dollars stykket. Hvad siger en håndskrift om personen bag den, og hvorfor er der stor forskel på, om den er skrevet med tusch eller kuglepen? Det undersøger Ane Cortzen og Gustav Hagild i ugens Første række. Vi kommer også forbi Coachella, en ny djævel i Prada og nyt fra Sydkorea. Ugens Gæst er Chris Pedersen.

I weekenden mødtes repræsentanter fra Rusland og Ukraine med USA for at forhandle om fred i Ukraine. "Nostalgi er ikke en strategi," lyder det fra Canadas premierminister, som har vendt sig væk fra USA og mod Kina. Er Canada lige nu billedet på en verdensorden i forandring?

MTV er ikke bare en tv-kanal, der lukker, det er et helt billedsprog, der går på pension. I time to ser vi nærmere på, hvordan MTV formede den måde, vi ser, hører og forstår musik på. Fra ikoniske musikvideoer og vilde værter til en æstetik, der lever videre på TikTok og YouTube. Sammen med radiovært og kulturjournalist Chris Pedersen og DJ og tidligere MTV-medarbejder Camilla Jane Lea taler vi om, hvorfor musikvideoen blev så magtfuld, hvordan MTV satte dagsordenen for ungdomskultur, og hvad vi egentlig har mistet, nu hvor musikken for længst er gledet ud af kanalen.

Det er juletid, og Poptillægget genudsender det bedste fra arkivet hver dag fra 1. til 24. december. Afsnittet er oprindeligt udgivet d 10. november 2017. Med spinkle, flagrende arme sidder journalisten, modeikonet, forfatteren og essayisten Joan Didion i en sofa og snakker med sin nevø, instruktøren Griffin Dunne. Sådan sættes scenen for en ny Netflix-dokumentar 'Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold', som giver et indblik i en særlig kvindes liv og forfatterskab. Men det er også et portræt af en kvindes sorg over at miste sin mand og datter med kun to års mellemrum. Panelet i ugens Politikens Poptillæg består af fire store Joan Didion-fans, som hver især har medbragt en bunke af deres yndlingsværker. Sammen snakker de om 'dronningen af moderne prosa' og om hendes evne til at skrive om iskolde mord, rockstjerner som 'The Doors' og om 70'ernes hippiebevægelse i San Fransisco med en helt særlig distance. Det er blevet til en række kendte essaysamlinger som 'Sloughing Towards Betlehem' og 'The White Album', hvor hun går så tæt på sig selv, at også læseren fornemmer nærheden.

Watch YouTube video here.Paul Merriman and Chris Pedersen tackle your biggest questions—from simplifying portfolios and picking best-in-class ETFs to understanding equal-weighted funds, tax efficiency, and how much small-cap value to own. They dig into factor investing (size, value, quality, profitability, momentum), why reversion to the mean matters, and how to think like an owner—not a speculator. Plus: mentors, work-life balance, and the real risk investors face.Chapters00:00 – Intro & Mentors05:07 – Portfolio Simplification10:13 – Work-Life Balance11:39 – Which ETFs will outperform?20:15 – Importance of Quality22:45 – Equal-Weighted Funds26:14 – History: how long is enough?29:58 – Cost of public indexing33:30 – Equal-weight fund tax vs. ETF35:21 – How much small-cap value?39:47 – Why three EM ETFs?42:28 – “All Avantis” risk?49:45 – Technology sector history & mean reversion53:00 – Be an owner, not a speculator55:27 – OutroKey Takeaways“Best” ETF ≠ next year's top performer—seek consistent factor exposure, low costs, broad holdings, and tax efficiency.Equal-weighting boosts small/value exposure but can increase turnover and tax drag; pairing large-cap blend with small-cap value can be more efficient.Decide small-cap value allocation by temperament (common range: 10–50% of equities when pairing with S&P 500/target date).Index approach vs. index label: DFA/Avantis are systematic and rules-based without telegraphing rebalances.Think like an owner: over decades, earnings—not sentiment—drive returns.Resources• Best-in-Class ETF Recommendations (2025): https://www.paulmerriman.com/best-in-class-etf-recommendations-2025#gsc.tab=0• Sound Investing Portfolios, Returns & Risks: https://www.paulmerriman.com/sound-investing-portfolios#gsc.tab=0• “Tune Out the Noise” (DFA Documentary): https://youtu.be/T98825bzcKw?si=kFMugnSSCn2E76sI

Amerikanske stjerner er tilsyneladende færdige med at gemme sig bag store solbriller og indgå forlig i retten for at undgå PR-ballade. K-live ser nærmere på retssagen mod den nu frikendte rapper Cardi B, der fremsatte en trussel på vej ud af retten - og på hvad der generelt sker med retssager i den amerikanske kulturelite i øjeblikket. Vi ser også på, hvordan en fodboldkamp mellem Danmark og Belarus er blevet en politisk kampplads, og hvorfor mørke rander under øjnene er kommet på mode.

On this podcast, Paul Merriman dives into three big investor questions: Why would anyone add bonds to their portfolio—even in retirement? How has the Ultimate Buy and Hold Portfolio performed in 2025? And how much Small Cap Value should an investor add to VTSAX? Along the way, Paul explains why diversification and balance matter just as much as chasing higher returns.During the podcast Paul references ⁠Table G-1b, Fine Tuning Table: S&P 500 vs. US SCV Equity Porfolio - Out-Performance⁠ and ⁠Table H2a - Sound Investing Portfolios: Comparison Data ⁠, Quilt Chart K1a. He also points to Chris Pedersen's Best In Class ETF Recommendations and his 2 Funds for Life returns table. These resources provide valuable context for comparing U.S. vs. international returns, equity vs. bond allocations, and how small-cap value can enhance a long-term strategy.

In this episode, Paul Merriman shares insights into upcoming events, including his presentation at the Garrett Planning Network Retreat, as well as his reflections on asset allocation, government bond strategies, and the benefits of various portfolios for different life stages. Tune in for a deep dive into how different funds and asset classes perform over the long term, and how to optimize your investment strategy, regardless of age or risk tolerance.Key Topics Covered:1. Long-Term Returns ComparisonPaul compares two small-cap value funds: the Vanguard Small Cap Value Fund (VSIAX) and the DFA Small Cap Value Fund (DFFVX). To find long-term returns for these funds, Paul uses Morningstar's chart function, which allows users to view the maximum (MAX) historical data for any given fund, helping to compare the performance of these funds since their inception 2. Best Asset Allocation for RetireesThe best asset allocation for retirees typically depends on individual factors, such as risk tolerance and life expectancy. Generally, Paul suggests a moderate equity allocation of 40-60% in stocks, with the rest in fixed income, for retirees who have enough saved up to comfortably fund their retirement .3. Asset Allocation for an 83-Year-Old RetireeFor an 83-year-old retiree, Paul discusses a more conservative portfolio with two-thirds in bonds and one-third in equities. This conservative approach, which mirrors the allocation in Vanguard's target-date funds, aligns well with retirees who are less reliant on aggressive growth but still need some equity exposure to combat inflation .4. Why Use Three Government Bond Funds?Paul advocates for a diversified bond strategy that includes TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), short-term government bonds, and intermediate-term government bonds. This combination offers a balance of safety, growth potential, and reduced volatility compared to using just one bond fund, and provides a more stable return over time.5. How the Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio WorksThe Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio is structured with 25% in large-cap blend (U.S), 25% in large-cap value (INTL), 25% in small-cap blend (INTL), and 25% in small-cap value (U.S.), giving you a diversified mix of U.S. and international equities. This approach optimizes for both size and value, ensuring a balanced exposure to market growth, volatility, and global investment opportunities.6. Should a 26-Year-Old Use the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio Yes, a 26-year-old could benefit from the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio, which typically includes the A TARGET DATE FUND and a small-cap value fund. This strategy allows young investors to focus on equity growth, benefiting from the long-term appreciation potential of small-cap value stocks while minimizing risks associated with bonds at an early stage7. Managing the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio with S&P 500 & Small-Cap Value For someone using only the S&P 500 and small-cap value fund, Paul suggests a flexible allocation approach. You might start with a 50/50 split, or adjust according to your risk tolerance. The small-cap value fund tends to be more volatile but offers higher returns over time, while the S&P 500 provides more stability with lower volatility .8. Can There Be a 3 Funds for Life Portfolio?Yes, a 3 Funds for Life portfolio could include the S&P 500, large-cap value, and small-cap value. Paul suggests mixing these three equity asset classes to achieve a balanced portfolio that offers growth potential without overexposing yourself to risk.⁠Resources:1928-2024 Quilt Chart (K1a)⁠⁠Sound Investing Table (H2a)⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life Table: For more detailed insights, visit ⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life table⁠.

Ungdomsfilm- og serieskaberen Jonas Risvig, er blevet kaldt en generationsstemme af anmeldere. Men på instagramprofilen "Krænkelseskulturelle Memes" er billedet et ganske andet. Her er der lavet mange kritiske opslag mod Jonas Risvig og folk deler deres klager og oplevelser med ham. Nu har Risvig fået nok. Han skrev i aftes på sin instagram-profil, at han oplever det som "et omfattende hadangreb". Hovedpersonen Jonas Risvig kommer i studiet. Vi taler også med Vibeke Borberg, advokat med speciale i informationsret om, hvad man må ytre på en anonym instagramprofil. I 'Popsmart' ser Chris Pedersen på hvor meget spiritualitet fylder i tidens popkultur. Vært: Gustav Hagild. Producer: Louise Reumert.

Sexscenerne fylder i film og serier... igen. 'Dying for Sex', 'Sauna', 'Babygirl' og 'The White Lotus' har givet nyt liv til lærredssex - med hjælp fra intimkoordinatorer og klare aftaler. Der er sket noget med filmbranchens måde at lave dem på. Scenerne er eksplicitte, æstetiske og fyldt med følelser. I dagens afsnit af podcasten Popsmart undersøger Chris Pedersen, hvad den moderne sexscene fortæller om vores forhold til krop og seksualitet. Det gør han i selskab med kunstner og forfatter Emma Rosenzweig. Vært: Gustav Hagild. Producer: Thomas Holmby Hansen. Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen.

Hvor genren tidligere var kendt for at caste almindelige deltagere og appellere til det sensationslystne, ser vi i dag en ny tendens: Kendte kulturpersonligheder som forfatteren Glenn Bech og skuespiller Rasmus Bruun træder ind i reality-formatet. Er det udtryk for, at reality er blevet en platform for kulturel samtale? Vi undersøger den nye type deltagere, og hvad det betyder for genrens udvikling.

Håndbold, cykelkultur og pølsevogne. Det lyder måske som almindeligt dansk hverdagsliv - men ifølge Kulturministeriet kunne det også være dansk immateriel kulturarv. Nu skal danskerne stemme om, hvilke traditioner der skal sendes til Unesco og måske skrives ind i verdensarven. Men hvad betyder det egentlig at ville bevare det uhåndgribelige? Og kan man tale om national kulturarv uden at gøre den til en parodi på sig selv? Vi undersøger idéen - og dens blinde vinkler. Vi skal også høre Popsmart, hvor Chris Pedersen kigger nærmere på Netflix-comedy i en MAGA-æra.

Amerikanerne skal endnu engang lande på grønlandsk jord. Den officielle begrundelse for deres, i nogles øjne, ucharmerende charmeoffensiv er, at de gerne vil forstå, hvad grønlandsk kultur er. I dagens K-live tager vi dem på ordet, og hjælper dem på vej ved at spørge en række kulturudøvere fra Grønland, hvad de mener grønlandsk kultur er. På internettet kan du købe billeder af berømtheders tæer, se dem rede deres hår eller gå i bad med dem.

Udviklingen inden for kunstig intelligens går rasende stærkt - især indenfor det skønlitterære. Vi tester maskinernes evne til selv at producere og især hjælpe forfattere i skriveprocessen. og et af de steder, der har fået meget bevågenhed er maskinens evner inden for det skønlitterære - til enten selv at producere en historie eller hjælpe en forfatter med sit projekt. Vi taler med forsker i kunstig intelligens og det er også i denne time at du får Popsmart med Chris Pedersen, der i denne uge ser nærmere på robotter der har udviklet deres helt eget sprog som kun de forstår.

Vi får besøg af dramatikere, digtigere, forfattere og billedkunstnere som giver deres bud på kunsten i den nye tid. Podcasts, film og tv-serier er gået i terapi, og psykologer er blevet samtidens store orakler. Det er blevet bemærket hos Popsmart, så derfor har Chris Pedersen inviteret kulturjournalist Lone Nikolajsen fra Dagbladet Information ind i programmet. Vært: Morten Runge.

Skræddersyede jakkesæt, glitrende kjoler og gyldne statuetter var i fokus, da der i nat blev afholdt Oscars. Vi kigger vinderne igennem, nærstuderer den røde løber og finder ud af, hvad showet fortæller os om Hollywoods status lige nu. Alt sammen med redaktionens egen Chris Pedersen. Danmarks Radio har været centrum i en vedvarende kritik af danske mediers dækning af Grønland. Først med en nu afpubliceret dokumentar om kryolitudvinding, men altså også efter satireprogrammet "Tæt På Sandheden" gjorde grin med processen bag den dokumentar. Flere mener ikke, at det var DR, men derimod grønlænderne, der blev til grin i sketchen, og derfor spørger Maya Tekeli i dagens Virkelig, hvem der har magten til at bestemme, om en vittighed er sjov. Vært: Casper Dyrholm.

Krige, kriser og naturkatastrofer har smidt en dæmper på vores hang til luksusprodukter som tasker, sko og dyre møbler. Men trangen til at pynte sig lever i bedste velgående og salget af kosmetik er i stor stigning, hvilket endnu engang puster liv i samtalen om det såkaldte læbestiftindeks. Hvad det går ud på fortæller Søren Askegaard, professor på SDU. På søndag bliver Hollywood-myten fejret, når hele klodens drømmefabrik inviterer til Oscar-uddeling. Men hvad er det for et Hollywood, der nu rejser fra asken af en historisk brand. Det taler Chris Pedersen bl.a med filmredaktør Christian Monggaard om. Vært: Morten Runge.

Hvid hud, hår så sort som kul og læber så røde som blod. Marilyn Manson kan stadig - på trods af hårde MeToo-anklager - trække stimer af danske fans til. Mansons offentlige persona er skabt på at overskride grænser - vi udfolder mennesket, anklagerne og de etiske dilemmaer ved at være fan af mand, som måske også er monster. Popkulturen er besat af mad. Film, litteratur og sociale medier bugner af piskede smørtårne og hundedyre fastelavnsboller, pittoreske salater og enestående oste. I denne uges Popsmart åbner Chris Pedersen køleskabet, for at se hvad denne besættelse af mad fortæller om os lige nu. Vært: Casper Dyrholm.

Et gennemsnitligt menneskes aske vejer helt op til fem kilo. Normalt ryger den i jorden i urne - eller spredes udover havet eller skoven - for der ER helt særlige regler for hvordan vi håndterer lig og aske... Men nu pusles der for at få lov at lave smykker af asken. Og på den måde minde de døde. Vært: Morten Runge.

Rekordmange unge vil lære at anmelde teater. Men de unge træder ind i verden, hvor de voksne lige nu diskuterer ret voldsomtog offentligt, hvad en god anmeldelse er. Popsmart ser i denne uge på en generel træthed overfor den såkaldte "Woke"-bevægelse. Birgitte Borup, kulturredaktør på Berlingske Tidende og billedkunstner Esben Weile Kjær er i studiet. Vært: Morten Runge.

Elon Musk, en af verdens travleste mænd og far til tolv børn, hævder at være top-gamer i spil som 'Path of Exile 2' og 'Diablo IV'. Men gamermiljøet kalder bluff og beskylder ham for at hyre andre til at spille for sig. Men hvorfor skulle han snyde? Og hvorfor er det overhovedet så vigtigt, om han faktisk selv har spillet sig til tops? Ole Hall, forfatter til 'Tech Modulen: Elon Musk' og Rune Kristian Lundal, forsker i computerspil på ITU, kommer i studiet med svar på det hele. Høje kindben, fyldige læber, markante kæber og skarpe øjenbryn. Sådan vil man ofte beskrive fotomodeller og reality stjerner, men beskrivelsen passer også på flere og flere i politiske kredse - særligt omkring Donald Trump. I dagens Popsmart ser Chris Pedersen i dag nærmere på det såkaldte "Mar-A-Lago"-ansigt, og spørger, hvordan og hvorfor ansigtet er blevet en politisk kampplads, alt sammen med ugens gæst Bodil Skovgaard, kulturskribent på Dagbladet Information. Vært: Morten Runge.

Hele verdens øjne er rettet mod Syrien og magtskiftet der. K-Live live retter også det kulturelle blik mod landet og ser på, hvordan kultur bliver brugt til forhandling af national identitet. Overgangsalderen er blevet "hot" i popkulturen, hvor filmstjerner, influencere, komikere og tv-serier sætter fokus på et fænomen, der ellers har været tæt på usynlig. Filmanmelder og phd-studerende Katrine Sommer besøger Chris Pedersen i Popsmart studiet til en snak om overgangsalderen i popkulturen. Vært: Casper Dyrholm.

Paul mentions his upcoming presentation to the ⁠⁠L.A. Chapter of AAII⁠⁠ on November 16, 2024    10:30 to noon. Chris Pedersen and Daryl Bahls join Paul to answer your questions.  Paul opens the podcast with a brief introduction of the team and notes how thankful he is for their commitment to helping others. Paul mentions the huge moves small cap value funds made on November 6.  He follows that with a comparison of the 5 year returns of AVUV and  3 Vanguard small cap value funds (VBR, VIOV and VTWV).  AVUV compound rate of returns were 3 plus percent higher than the Vanguard funds.  Paul's questions:  What caused the higher returns and are they likely to be similar in the future? Chris responds with a lengthy discussion of the systematic approach that AVUV uses and Paul reads what AVUV says about their systematic approach. Chris compares the DFA small cap value fund (DFSV) with AVUV.  Chris also talks about a relative ranking he wants add to his Best In Class recommendations next year. Chris discusses the quality factor of AVUV vs. funds that build their small cap value portfolio using the Russell 2000 Small Cap Value Index.  He introduced a new term: rich minus weak ratio.Paul and Chris discuss the question:  Is AVUV and actively managed fund? Question:  JL Collins recommends VTI (Total Market Index) and Warren Buffett recommends VOO (S&P 500).  Which do we recommend?  Chris notes the important differences between VTI and AVUS and suggests a likely extra .5% return from AVUS. For those who want to own only total market funds, the group discusses the possibilities of replacing both VIT(U.S. Total Market)  and  VXUS (International Total Market) with total market indexes that favor slightly smaller companies with a slightly more value tilt. Paul references Ben Carlson's article about, ⁠⁠“Some Things I Don't Believe About Investing.”⁠⁠  Chris, Daryl and Paul weigh in on things they don't believe about investing.Chris ends with some important comments about how we are likely helping investors.

On May 18, 2024 Chris Pedersen made a presentation to the Houston Chapter of AAII.   At the end of the presentation Chris answered over 20 questions.  Those questions are on this podcast.  Here are the question topics: 1.

So, you've chosen to be a buy-and-hold investor following one of Paul's Sound Investing portfolios.  Now, the question is, what to buy?  It's time to become a knowledgeable shopper. Chris Pedersen describes the attributes that make an ETF or mutual fund more or less suited to implementing the portfolios we've discussed.  He then shows how to use Morningstar and Portfolio Visualizer to evaluate funds and points to the Best-in-Class recommended funds he's chosen. Finally, he demonstrates how the Portfolio Configurator can compare different fund family implementations and calculate the needed percentages of different funds for your personal portfolio choices.   Along the way, we learn that, like Warren Buffet, he has a thing for Diet Coke.

Chris Pedersen shows how to automate investing with simple 2-fund portfolios.  He discusses how target-date funds work and how to combine them with small-cap value funds to achieve results similar to more complicated portfolios.  He highlights the 2 Funds for Life fine-tuning table in the Portfolio Configurator and shows how it can be used to set expectations based on different allocations. He also shows how 2 Funds for Life approaches can be compared to Sound Investing portfolios using the Configurator.  Finally, he takes advantage of Paul's absence to praise Paul's example and highlight the importance of non-financial investments.

Join Paul and Chris for this podcast/video they recorded. During the conversation Paul  mentions Chris' free copy of  “2 Funds for Life”  and a fascinating interview with Professor Scott Cederburg on Rational Reminder.  Cederburg is an advocate for a lifetime portfolio of all equities.  The following are the topics and questions they discussed:   What does an investor do if a small cap value fund is not available in their 401(K)?  Does a small cap blend fund, that is available, have the same impact as small cap value? How do you choose between investing in a higher expense ratio ETF (say Avantis) compared to investing in a low expense ratio small cap value index fund?  Would the decision be as simple as going with the lower expense ratio fund?   How do taxes impact your recommendations whether the asset class is held in taxable or tax advantaged accounts?  Specifically, the S&P 500 fund that has little to no annual taxes vs small cap value which is less tax efficient. Are you tempted to invest in individual stocks or actively managed funds?   Since small cap value funds can have long periods of underperformance,  does that suggest  those approaching retirement should avoid small cap value funds? How did you react to the March 2020 Market Meltdown and other past major market declines?   Did you try to take advantage of the declines as a buying opportunity? What about combining 25% each small cap value and S&P 500 fund with  50%  target date fund?   What's the best way to move from your present holdings to a 2 Funds for Life Portfolio? Where do I find information on how you make your selection of Best In Class ETFs?  Here is the page that has links to the articles, podcasts and video.  Plus here is a link to Chris' AAII article on the topic.  I'm setting up a  50/50 small cap value/target date fund.  Would it help to add international small cap value? How about using two small cap value ETFs?  DFA and Avantis each have similar ETFs but different portfolios.   What is the status of Chris' new white paper on 2 Funds for Life?

In the last podcast of the year Paul discusses the many important projects Chris Pedersen, Daryl Bahls and he will explore in 2024. He then addresses a question from a listener:  Why not all equities forever?  The question is the focus of a wonderful interview with  Scott Cederburg, Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Arizona.  Scott is the guest of Truth-Teller Ben Felix and Cameron Passmore on their podcast, Rational Reminder. In this podcast (https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/284) entitled "Challenging the Status Quo on Lifecycle Asset Allocation” Scott discusses his groundbreaking research on the implications of retirees using all equities during their entire retirement vs. the traditional stock/bond allocation most experts recommend. Paul uses Tables D1.4 Fixed Distributions S&P 500 and D9.4 Fixed Distributions U.S. 4 Fund to demonstrate how much better returns than all equity large cap blend can be earned with a combination of small, large, growth and value and up to 50% in fixed income. Another listener asks where one can find the tables referenced in the podcast entitled,  "The best gift of all? A financial legacy for a child"     Here is the link to the pdf that includes the tables mentioned in the article. He also recommends he review these tables that Daryl put together to show the impact of two investors starting at age 18 and 23.   

Paul Merriman and Chris Pedersen introduce the 2 Funds for Life Fine Tuning table and describe how it can be used by investors of all ages to evaluate various combinations of target-date and small-cap value funds.   Historically, these combinations have produced higher returns and higher safe withdrawal rates with only modest increases in risk compared to the target-date fund alone.  The table provides investors a way to see what these differences have been in the past for target-date funds across their lifetimes when combined with 0% to 50% small-cap value in 10% increments.   Paul and Chris also discuss rebalancing approaches and the methodologies used in the backtests.  Whether you're a young investor, mid-career, or well into retirement, we think this information will be relevant and hope that it will be life-changing.
