Nine years into a bull market, that generally gets people talking about bubbles. Today, I am excited to have Rob Arnott, Chairman of Research Affiliates join me for a second round on the podcast! Why have him back you might ask, well Rob and his firm manage nearly $200 Billion dollars and over the years have made some bold statements, pioneered several unconventional strategies and challenged conventional wisdom to search for solutions that add value for investors.
As you will hear, Rob is not shy to share his thoughts on the current state of the financial markets, address a bubble he sees developing in the market and provide some different perspectives, sometimes very different on some popular investment trends. If you are listening and think this one might not be for you, I would encourage you to give Rob a chance before moving on. In addition to his unconventional thinking, I love that he can take some complex topics in the market and make them easy to understand, regardless of your level of investment or financial acumen.
