Jack Forehand is co-founder, partner and CIO at Validea Capital, and is also the co-host of the popular Excess Returns podcast. He joined us for an awesome conversation that included topics such as:

  • The different styles for interviewing guests –preparation vs improvisation
  • Factor models to decompose the returns achieved by famed managers
  • Peter Lynch and the real mystery behind his track-record
  • Momentum vs return chasing
  • Cycles, underperformance and the benefits of combining different methodologies
  • The hard problem of factor allocation based on historical returns
  • A pragmatic approach that earned Jack his Twitter Handle – @practicalquant
  • Education, discipline and adherence
  • The incredibly long winter experienced by the value factor – is it over
  • Behavioral vulnerabilities – knowing about them doesn’t dampen their effect
  • Holding minimum amounts of cash – the additional tail-wind for indexed products
  • Tracking error can be more painful than the risk of losses
  • Why finding your like-minded tribe is a crucial component of sticking with a strategy

Thank you for watching and listening. See you next week.
