In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 03: Persistence of Performance: Athletes Versus Investment Managers.LEARNING: The nature of the competition in the investment arena is so different that conventional wisdom does not apply. What works in one paradigm does not necessarily work in another. “Active managers fail with great persistence not because they're dumb, it's just that they have a burden of costs, which makes it very difficult for them to outperform and overcome those costs.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over the 30 years or so that he's been trying to help investors. Larry is the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 03: Persistence of Performance: Athletes Versus Investment Managers.Chapter 03: Persistence of Performance: Athletes Versus Investment ManagersIn this chapter, Larry expounds on why we do not see the persistence of the outperformance of investment managers. He also tries to help investors understand how securities markets set prices.Skills versus luckOne of the most strongly held beliefs is that successful people succeed not through luck but through the skill of persistence over time. So, people assume that successful active managers must also result from this skill, not just luck. Larry explains that while this may be true for athletes where competition is one-on-one, it is not the case when it comes to investing.According to Dr. Mark Rubinstein, competition for an investment manager is not other individual investment managers but rather the market's collective wisdom. Further, Rex Sinquefield states that just because there are some investors smarter than others, that advantage will not show up. The market is too vast and too informationally efficient. Many people fail to comprehend that in many forms of competition, such as chess, poker, or investing, the relative skill level plays the more critical role in determining outcomes, not the absolute level. The “paradox of skill” means that even as skill level rises, luck can become more crucial in determining outcomes if the level of competition also increases.The cost of outperformanceWhen it comes to outperforming the market, Larry cautions that investment managers are not engaged in a zero-sum game. In pursuing market-beating returns, they face significantly higher expenses than passive investors. These costs, which include research expenses, other fund operating expenses, bid-offer spreads, commissions, market impact costs, and taxes, can pose significant financial risks. Investors must be aware of these potential pitfalls and factor them

Sign up to our newsletter for more in-depth insights | Follow us on LinkedIn   The world of quantitative investing is a varied one, ranging from “statistical arbitrage” funds that seek to exploit miniscule and often fleeting market mispricings, to systematically exploiting timeless return patterns.   Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) is in the latter camp. Founded by Rex Sinquefield and David Booth - two pioneers of index funds - DFA primarily harnesses “factors” that drive market returns in the long run. Here, Savina Rizova, Global Head of Research at DFA, explores the world of multi-factor investing with the FT's Robin Wigglesworth.    Savina was recently named as one of 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance by the magazine Barron's, and was nominated by none other than Robert Merton, a Nobel laureate in economics. Merton described the Bulgarian-born quantitative researcher as a standout in his more than 50 years of working with some of the best quantitative analysts and investors in the field of financial and economic research applied to real-world solutions.   In this conversation, Savina helps clarify the often muddied terms surrounding factor investing, and reveals the uncomfortable truth that many of these market-beating signals are nothing more than an artifice of data mining.    Savina also explains why DFA is excited about the opportunities in systematic fixed income investing, and covers the firm's decision to jump into the ETF industry and build its own in-house “direct indexing” business (it now competes head-to-head with investment giants like Vanguard, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley on this front).    The avid petrol-head also explains why Formula One is an entirely natural interest for any quant, given its combination of technology, data and human skill!   The Money Maze Podcast is sponsored by Schroders and Bremont Watches.   Schroders is a global investment and wealth manager, with a purpose to provide excellent investment performance to clients, through active investment management. Bremont is an award-winning British company that produces beautifully engineered chronometers, designed to appeal to those who share the appreciation of a beautiful mechanical wristwatch.

More and More locked-down families around the globe began buying boards and playing chess. Covid-19 also drove hundreds of thousands of others to play Chess online.

Last week, supporters of a plan to privatize St. Louis Lambert International Airport announced they would withdraw the initiative set for city ballots this November. A week later, two of the major entities behind the privatization push announced they had decided to part ways just one day before the announcement on the airport initiative. In this episode, St. Louis Business Journal reporter Jacob Kirn talks about the end of the 14 year relationship between conservative billionaire Rex Sinquefield and political consultant Travis Brown.

Consultants who work closely with conservative billionaire Rex Sinquefield have gathered enough signatures to force a vote on the privatization of St. Louis Lambert International Airport this November. If voters say yes to the plan, the city would basically be required to lease the airport to a private company by next summer. One argument for doing that is that it could help pay down the airport’s half a billion dollar debt. St. Louis Public Radio reporter Corinne Ruff recently dug into that claim.

All five Donnybrookers are in tonight, discussing The Board of Freeholders, shining light on airport privatization, remembering Bill Bidwill, and debating Rex Sinquefield's donations to Gov. Parson.

More topics planned to be discussed on the show this evening, but the Donnybrookers were not able to get away from the first topic of the night, addressing the issues of violence in the City of St. Louis. Has the response from the city government been too slow? What do you think of Rex Sinquefield's reward offer? Is it a city or a regional problem? Great comments and questions from callers during Your Turn tonight as well!
