  • What it takes to be a successful active investor. Hint, it’s much harder than you think.
    Contrast active and passive equity investing. Risk/rewards.
    Conclusion-Investors who do not have the following traits and emotional quality should index their portfolios. I find they are the majority of investors today. Also discussion of points of failure for passive and active investors.
    What traits and emotional characteristics are required to succeed as an active investor?
    A true long-term perspective on their investments.
    Discussion of Evolution and why it hampers long-term thinking.
    Discussion of behavioral biases that hamper successful long-term active investing.
    Power Point illustrations.
    Successful active investors value process over outcome.
    Short-term focus of investors is killing returns.
    Why you need access to truly long-term data to make intelligent choice.
    Successful active investors generally ignore forecasts and predictions.
    Discussion of studies proving forecasts and predictions are virtually worthless; illustrations documenting the failure of forecasts; both within markets and in outside professions.
    Successful active investors are patient and persistent.
    Discussion of great investors who may have very different styles, but all share the trait of patience and persistence.
    Successful active investors have a strong mental attitude.
    Successful investors are made, not born. Discussion of how successful active investors have a mental attitude bordering on stoicism; how they control how they interpret the world.
    Tools to use to help you succeed as an active long-term investor.
    Long-term data uncovered by What Works on Wall Street that you can use to guide your investment strategy.
    The importance of value; momentum; financial strength and earnings quality in putting together your portfolio.
    A highlight of stocks with high versus low shareholder yield (Cash dividend %+Bet Buyback %); it’s efficacy since the 1920s
    What NOT to own, lottery stocks versus the market.
    The importance of a stock’s market capitalization-the most profitable stocks come from the smallest part of the market (Micro cap stocks)
    Putting it all together-should you be an active or passive investor?
    Weight of the evidence for passive and active investing
    Which type of investor are you? Getting the best out of the style you choose.
    Discussion and Q/A.
    This talk moderated by Saurabh Madaan.

    He is my summary of the video:
    Contrary indicator - 3 year performance
    Passive investor face panicking and selling low as a point of failure
    Active investors face the above and comparing to the benchmark, russel 2000, russel small or large cap
    Base Rates; How often does the strategy beat the benchmark and by how much?
    Base rates are vital while managing money
    Think in terms of probabilities not possibilities
    best investors value Process over outcome
    Recency bias is a killer, you need to think long term
    Long term data is essential
    Don't pay attention to forecasts, they are useless.

    Great talk. But om qeustion on if he had a concentraded strategy he Said yes, 50-75 stocks. For me thats pretty diversified. I guess the quants have a different opinion on what concentrated is than a typical Value investor.

    • @SEANAM
      @SEANAM Před 6 lety

      Jan Fredrik A quant fund uses statistical inference of betas, correlation and standard errors to improve on the odds beyond random noise in portfolio return. Therefore, you should expect 1.0 standard deviation to explain 0.78 of the observed population parameters (statistically). As an example, if the S&P 500 is the benchmark that OSAM is measured against 50-75 security choices is only about 10-15% of the population sample (S&P 500 securities). To be able to select a (concentrated) portfolio with better risk/return profile than the index over long period of time consistently, is difficult and impressive.

    • @thevoxdeus
      @thevoxdeus Před 5 lety

      Considering you can buy an index for 500 or 1000 stocks at a time, 50-75 is VERY concentrated.
      As an individual retail investor, holding a significant position in even 50 stocks would be very difficult (since you do still want to watch the fundamentals, and you have a job in addition to your investments), but for a fund manager or institutional investor with billions in assets, it should be trivial.

    Obviously this isn't Metokur, but if the name is correct, Metokur is probably some distant family member, or a cousin, or nephew or something. That would explain the Minnesota connection as well. Metokur is probably old money, lives on a trust fund, has some degree of education, and might not be a millionaire, but not far. That being said, Metokur just doesn't give a shit and prefers to fuck around on the internet all day. I honestly can't say I blame him.

  • @elninogb
    @elninogb Před 7 lety +1

    Agree with a lot he said but the response to the last question was weak. The bet started before the big crash so the HFs should have had a great head start from year 2 or 3 onwards. Talking about risk adjusted returns over a 10 year period to justify the dismal performance is clutching at straws imo. Great talk in general though.

    • @jepayotei8659
      @jepayotei8659 Před 7 lety

      I think a longer and more interactive treatment of that question would have been good too. I was glad someone asked it. The takeaway from Jim's answer though was that the Hedge Fund choice was less volatile, so if you can't afford a large drop and are willing to give up larger returns over time, it may be for you.
      It does bring into question the whole active management strategy for me because if fees can eat your profit, what chance does a self managed investor have to do out perform the S&P!

    • @SEANAM
      @SEANAM Před 6 lety

      Fid The fact that Zero coupon bonds outperform all other asset classes because of the YTM (pull to par value) and no reinvestment choice necessary show how much of an aberration risk/return and pricing of security was during the 2008-2009 period.
      He did acknowledge the fees, selection of HF instead of FoF, and QEs monetary support for equity market distortion each time there was a correction. The Fed ensure that the long (S&P bullish) strategy was to be the best portfolio and not risk/return measure such as Sharpe's ratio or Sortino's ratio that consider return odd against drawdown (potential losses).
      Jim answer was complete, candor and very robust.

    • @thevoxdeus
      @thevoxdeus Před 5 lety

      Unless investing is your full time job AND you have the chops (IQ and emotional discipline AND significant capital to manage) you shouldn't be actively investing at all, or so said Benjamin Graham.
      He did add the caveat that you might consider actively investing no more than 10% of your total investment pool (with no rebalancing between active and passive sides) if that's what would keep you engaged, since you would probably fail to match the market, but at least your losses would be fire walled.

    When you hear somebody this rich speak, you have to wonder what he's trying to do to you that benefits him... and here it is... he makes the majority of us think we are not smart enough to actively invest thus we just stick our money in a fund. This fund of course supports his investments. Thus instead of investing in things that make you rich, you are investing in things that make him rich and lessen his volatility. Buffet has the same message.
