For the first episode of season 2, we are joined by Rob Arnott.
Rob is known as the ‘godfather of smart beta’ for his pioneering work researching and building quantitative investment strategies.
Research Affiliates, the Newport Beach-based firm he founded in 2002, offers a series of reweighted indices and asset allocation strategies and runs some $171bn of assets.
Rob tells the Mistakes Were Made team how he lost a third of his net worth in a matter of days (don’t worry, he made it back!), why it’s wrong to write off value, and the importance of curiosity.
