Paul fields a question from a finance professor about a recent video he did evaluating different market segments based on their price-to-book ratios. The listener wanted to know if an equally weighted index would perform better than a cap-weighted index because large growth stocks seem to be high compared to historic norms. Listen along as Paul explains that while an equally weighted index might technically keep you from over investing in an asset category that may experience a correction, its costs and risks don’t make it an obvious choice. Later in the show, Paul explains why fund companies can be dangerous to trust blindly.
