00:00 Intro
In this video, I will explain factor investing, share a couple funds and ETFs, backtest an example portfolio, and share my thoughts.
00:48 What is Factor Investing?
Factor investing is based in academic research and is pitched as a way to add diversification to different risks. Some of the more common factors are size and value. We discuss the fundamentals and why factor investing may lead to better diversification and returns. We also briefly look at how much of the factor premium can be attributed to risk vs behavior.
05:28 Example Portfolio
We look at an example portfolio using a small cap value tilt and backtest it against a market-cap weighted portfolio. Over 24 years, how did the factor strategy affect the returns?
The example uses a couple funds from DFA: DFSVX & DISVX
A couple alternative ETFs from Avantis are: AVUV & AVDV
These are simple funds for adding a small cap value tilt to a core portfolio.
08:48 Challenges and Risks
Factor investing could have some challenges and risks. Some of these are implementation challenges, higher fees, and possible overcrowding.
13:41 My Thoughts
I started out with a factor strategy in my portfolio, but ended up removing it after a couple months. I share the details on why I did this.

    I don't think everyone is going after factor investing. WAAAYYY too many people are only going after growth stocks even when the data shows that they should go after value. Until I see the average KZreadr jumping on the factor train I don't think the value premium is anywhere close to dead.

    Hi Shaun, you may be correct. There is still a good amount of bias for well-known, hot, growth companies. There are also a lot of funds & advisors going after factors. I hope you are rewarded for going after factors :)

    Nick, just a few words says it all as far as I'm concerned and as far as I can/could follow the issues you discussed: Top-Notch Video, excellent coverage of the topic. I can't commend you more or higher, this is simply exception and totally indicated work on your part. You have provided a substantial benefit to investors who may have been thinking about Factor Investing. As an aside, I appreciate and respect your mention of Rick Ferri's "All About Asset Allocation". I believe if an investor was to choose one book it should be Ferri's "All About Asset Allocation"! Thanks so much for your hard work in putting this very tricky before us all.

    Listened to this magnificent video again today. I think at this level of complexity most investors will simply elect to go with Index Funds from Vanguard or Fidelity and be done with it. I agree 100% with you, it does not appear worth it to add this level of complexity to one's portfolio and if one does through an advisor, well, the added fees would likely eat up the otherwise marginal gain. Nonetheless, his Video is Class, Total Class; Thanks for your enormous efforts putting this together.

    Great explanation! I may just stick with VT and maintain a higher stock/bond allocation in retirement to get hopefully similar resulting returns; personally like the less volatile nature of VT and wouldn’t like having to time the sell-off of a pretty large portion of a portfolio before retirement (wouldn’t like having small-cap during those years).

    11:38. You don't know what you are talking about; DFA only works with advisors that work with a flat fee. Not a percentage of AUM. That is the entire value add, as DFA filters and educates the best advisors. Now with the DFA ETFs everybody can buy DFA exposure

    A Google search for "do advisors with DFA funds charge AUM fees?" seems to indicate not all DFA advisors are flat fee. It provides many contrary examples.

    To me, my vti is so large and growth heavy, I think of us scv as further diversification. If SCV or LCB wins on any given year, I win and hopefully we will smooth out the ride a bit.

    @@nickdoyle-achievefinancial2464 I have 30% in international funds. Rick Ferri was saying he thinks international is far more value heavy that there is no need for investing in a value-based factor fund if you are a global investor. I must agree with that. I wonder if I should go to 20% international due to my U.S. SCV sometimes but I know I only think that because of recency bias with the international returns. I'll hang in on 30%.

    It seems new factors are regularly proposed/identified. Determining which ones are real and should be reflected in your portfolio is part of the challenge of being a factor investor. I personally don't want to evaluate them. I let the market do it for me.
