Episode 7: Meb Faber

In this episode, we’re joined by Meb Faber. Meb is the co-founder and chief investment officer of Cambria Investment Management. Cambria offers a wide range of investment products, all powered by quantitative research. Meb is also the host of one of our favorite podcasts- the Meb Faber Show, where he interviews investment professionals across disciplines. From quantitative research to practical insights, Meb brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.

In this episode, Meb outlines Cambria’s core framework—globally diversified beta, a value‑driven tilt, and a powerful dose of trend‑following. He explains the surprisingly strong performance of simple asset allocation strategies, shares his contrarian views on bonds versus T‑Bills, and introduces the unconventional “Donut Portfolio.” Whether you’re building a global portfolio or managing multi‑asset strategies, Meb’s insights on discipline, diversification, and behavioral biases make this a must‑listen.
