Episode 263: A Common Modeling Mistake, Low Beta Funds, And Fun With Finland
Episode description
In this episode we answer emails from R.J., Mark and Jaako. We discuss how amateur investors doing projections often double-count inflation accidently and apply inappropriate tax rates, using low-beta funds in portfolio construction, and ETFs designed to combat inflation in Finland and elsewhere.
Note I misspoke and the USMV low-beta portfolio does better than the two created in Mark's backtests.
