Podcasts about Shahidi

Alex Shahidi, Managing Principal and Co-CIO at Evoke Advisors and co-portfolio manager of the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, returns to Lead-Lag Live for the next single-topic risk-parity conversation — this one focused on commodity producers as the inflation-hedging equity sleeve inside a modern balanced portfolio. Alex makes the structural case for owning commodity producer equities rather than commodity futures — the tax efficiency, the equity risk premium layered on top of the commodity exposure, and the 50+ year track record of outperforming global equities by roughly 2% a year. He walks through how RPAR and UPAR construct the sleeve using the broad Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Net Return Index (roughly a third energy, a third industrial and precious metals, a third agriculture), why diversification within the sleeve matters more than picking a single subsector, and why the diversification benefit shows up most when it's needed most — 2022 (equities down 18%, producers up 15%), Q1 2026 (equities down 3%, producers up 20%), and the 1970s (13%+ annualized for a full decade of stagflation). He also gets candid about the behavioral difficulty of holding this sleeve as a standalone position — the 20-30% higher volatility versus global equities, the extended stretches where it deviates significantly from the broader market, and why rebalancing across the risk-parity buckets is what actually captures the long-run edge. The conversation closes with the practical case for RPAR versus a traditional 60/40: what inflation looks like when you zoom out over 100 years, why "low and stable" is the abnormal regime rather than the normal one, and where inflation-linked bonds fit alongside the commodity producer sleeve.

Alex Shahidi, Managing Principal at Evoke Advisors and co-portfolio manager of the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, joins Michael Gayed on Lead-Lag Live to unpack why gold belongs at the core of a modern risk-parity portfolio — and why the traditional 60/40 keeps failing in inflationary regimes. In this first of a new series of narrower, single-topic risk-parity conversations, Alex walks through the three-step framework behind RPAR and UPAR, explains why correlation is a byproduct rather than a driver of diversification, and makes the structural case for gold as an anti-paper-money hedge against fiat debasement, sovereign debt monetization, and central-bank de-dollarization.

“Pain sucks,” as Zam puts it — and ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Dr. Bita Shahidi, a physical therapist who has worked with firefighters and professional athletes, explains why the aches and pains firefighters push through during their careers often become the injuries that define retirement. She urges firefighters to approach their bodies like tactical athletes, with regular movement screenings, mobility work and recovery built into the job — instead of waiting until something breaks. Shahidi also shares a simple three-minute mobility routine, explains why sleep and breathing matter as much as strength training, and makes the case for treating small pains before they become surgeries. The takeaway is straightforward: A few minutes of maintenance today can help you perform better now and enjoy retirement without paying for decades of ignored wear and tear.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Alex Shahidi, Managing Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Evoke Advisors, to break down why markets heading into 2026 are forcing investors to rethink diversification, risk, and portfolio construction.With inflation remaining sticky, political uncertainty rising, and stocks and bonds often moving together during inflation shocks, Alex explains why the traditional 60/40 framework falls short and what true diversification actually looks like in an environment defined by wide-ranging macro outcomes.Throughout the conversation, we discuss how his work around balanced asset allocation and risk parity has evolved from theory into practice, including the thinking behind the RPAR ETFs available at RPAR Risk Parity ETF. , the broader research and conversations he hosts each week on Insightful Investor , and how this framework is implemented in real client portfolios at Evoke Advisors . Alex also shares perspectives he's written about through his Forbes Finance Council contributions and the ideas explored more deeply in his book: Risk Parity: How to Invest for All Market Environments and Balanced Asset Allocation: How to Profit in Any Economic Climate.In this episode:– Why inflation uncertainty changes how diversification actually works– How stocks and bonds can fail at the same time during inflation shocks– What investors misunderstand about risk parity and balance– Why assets like commodities and gold need meaningful weight to matter– How to think about portfolio construction when outcomes are highly uncertainLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

Markets sit near record highs even as economic signals send mixed messages, and many portfolios are more concentrated today than ever. In this Lead-Lag Deep Dive, Melanie Schaeffer sits down with Alex Shahidi, CO-CIO at Evoke Advisors, to break down what risk parity really is and why traditional frameworks like 60 40 may leave investors exposed.Shahidi explains how growth and inflation cycles historically drive long term returns, why diversification is often misunderstood, and how a true balanced allocation uses equities, commodities, gold, treasuries, and inflation linked bonds to weather very different market regimes. He also discusses the philosophy behind the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and why more advisors are reconsidering how they approach portfolio construction.In this episode:Why most portfolios are less diversified than investors thinkHow growth and inflation surprises drive major market cyclesThe role of commodities, gold, and inflation linked bonds in a balanced allocationWhy equal risk contribution matters more than traditional 60 40 mixesHow advisors can use risk parity to build more resilient portfoliosLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

The investment world is filled with overconfidence. We obsessively track our wins while conveniently forgetting our losses, leading most investors—even professionals—to achieve prediction accuracy barely above 50%. This sobering reality forms the foundation of a fascinating conversation about why predicting markets is so difficult and how diversification offers protection against our behavioral biases.When we zoom in too closely on market movements, every fluctuation appears significant, triggering emotional responses that frequently sabotage our long-term success. The natural instincts that serve us well in everyday life often lead to counterproductive investment behaviors—buying high and selling low in response to fear and greed. A risk parity framework offers an antidote to these tendencies by emphasizing balanced exposure across assets that respond differently to various economic conditions.True diversification extends far beyond traditional 60/40 portfolios, which typically show 98% correlation with equity markets. Instead, it requires thoughtful allocation across stocks, bonds, commodities, and inflation-protected securities, weighted according to their volatility characteristics. Historical data supports this approach: equities have experienced "lost decades" in two of the past five decades, while alternative assets like gold have delivered comparable long-term returns but performed best during equity's worst periods. This complementary performance pattern demonstrates why diversification across uncorrelated assets provides the only "free lunch" in investing.Today's environment of heightened uncertainty and inflation volatility makes diversified approaches more valuable than ever. While many portfolios have become increasingly concentrated in U.S. equities after years of outperformance, the coming decade may reward those who embrace a more balanced approach to navigating the unknowable future. Remember: investing isn't about predicting tomorrow perfectly—it's about building resilient portfolios that can thrive across diverse economic scenarios.Riddler Road Rally is not your average adventure.

This podcast is the first of a limited number of longform podcasts that highlight significant events from The Suraj Podcast. This extended podcast is a compilation of episodes 90-93 of The Suraj Podcast recounting the martyrdom [shahidi] of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. For those that wish to enjoy even further context, we encourage listening to episodes 86-89 which narrate additional preceding events to Guru Arjan Dev Ji's Shahidi including the Gurgaddi of Guru Hargobind, Guru Arjan Dev Ji's last meeting with Mata Ganga, and Guru Arjan Dev Ji's final discussion with Jahangir.

Are you prepared for a financial landscape unlike anything we've seen in decades? The investing playbook that worked for the past ten years might be obsolete as we navigate unprecedented uncertainty in markets."It's very possible there's a sea change and the next decade looks very different from the last decade," warns Alex Shahidi of Evoke Advisors. After years of low interest rates, stable volatility, and US stock dominance, today's environment features sticky inflation, political uncertainty, and a significantly constrained policy response toolkit. The potential range of outcomes is wider than at any point in recent memory, with greater risk of extreme scenarios.Most investors remain dangerously positioned for yesterday's market conditions. While many believe their 60/40 portfolios provide adequate diversification, Shahidi reveals that such allocations are 98% correlated with the stock market because stocks contribute disproportionately to volatility and returns. True diversification requires balancing risk contributions across multiple asset classes – what's known as risk parity.The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about gold, revealing it has returned approximately 8% annually since 1971, just behind equities' 9%, with near-zero correlation. The 1970s and 2000s were excellent for gold but poor for stocks, while the 1980s and 1990s saw the reverse pattern. This makes gold an exceptionally valuable diversifier that remains underrepresented in most portfolios.Perhaps most importantly, Shahidi offers a powerful framework for navigating today's uncertainty: "Diversification always trumps conviction." While it's natural to want to predict the future and position accordingly, the odds of consistent success in market timing are slim. A truly diversified portfolio removes much of the emotional pressure from investing decisions, allowing investors to follow a "slow and steady" path that historically delivers superior long-term results.Ready to rethink your investment approach for the decade ahead?

Dive into the world of investment strategies with our latest episode focused on risk parity and the innovative ETFs, RPAR and UPAR. Join financial expert Alex Shahidi as he unpacks the evolving landscape of portfolio management, encouraging listeners to reassess their traditional views on asset allocation. The conversation covers the importance of diversification, revealing the limitations of the conventional 60/40 model that many investors continue to favor. With insights backed by historical data, we explore how equities, commodities, treasuries, and gold have performed through various market cycles. Shahidi clarifies the concept of risk parity, shedding light on how it can create a resilient investment portfolio that adapts to market fluctuations while aiming for consistent returns. He discusses the potential returns from traditionally lower-risk assets, explaining how leverage can enhance their performance to match or even exceed that of equities. Through this engaging discussion, listeners gain a better understanding of how to structure their portfolios for greater stability and consistency. Shahidi also highlights the risks associated with focusing solely on short-term market trends, urging investors to adopt a long-term perspective that prioritizes diversity in their asset allocation. As you tune in, consider your own investment approach.

103.7 The Buzz

Soon to celebrate his 50th birthday by journeying from Paris to Tokyo by car along the Southern Silk Road, the French Moroccan creative director, artist, and entrepreneur Ramdane Touhami says he's “thirsty for life like it's just the beginning,” and it shows. Among his 17 (yes, 17) companies are the cult grooming brand Officine Universelle Buly 1803, which he and his wife co-founded in 2014 and sold to LVMH in 2021; the Paris-based creative agency Art Recherche Industrie, whose clients include Christofle, Moynat, and Gohar World; and Hotel Drei Berge, which he opened in the Swiss Alps last year. With each of his enterprises, Touhami has proven, time and again, how much craft matters—that there's a real demand for it in a streamlined world that prioritizes efficiency, and that it's not necessarily at odds with turning a profit.On the episode, Touhami talks about the parallels between Japan and Switzerland, business as a religion, and the healing power of mountains.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Ramdane Touhami[5:29] Hotel Drei Berge Hotel[5:29] Élisée Reclus[8:36] Angelo Mangiarotti[8:36] Tobia Scarpa[8:36] Dieter Rams[5:29] “Ramdane Touhami's Peak Performance”[17:12] Mos Def[20:28] Henry David Thoreau[28:16] Officine Universelle Buly 1803[28:16] Cire Trudon[1:00:35] Aman[27:06] Ignacio Mattos[28:16] LVMH[34:54] An Atlas of Natural Beauty[34:33] Bernard Arnault[34:54] Izumi Aki[41:54] Société Helvétique d'Impression Typographique[43:54] Émile Shahidi[44:30] Radical Media[44:59] Tricontinental magazine[57:24] “A Parisian Designer Builds His Dream House in a Former Brothel”[1:00:35] Southern Silk Road

In this episode, our guest Keri Shahidi is in conversation with us about her family upbringing and how it shaped her foundation for paying it forward in life. We were really inspired by Keri's refined business acumen that centers people over profit. Whether it's in her role as a film/tv producer or as a mom — it makes no difference, she is continually finding creative ways to create a bigger table and make every project meaningful.
