Video Description

Most people with even a passing interest in investing have heard of Vanguard, the company synonymous with index funds. Fewer people have heard of Dimensional Fund Advisors. Vanguard is well-known for its low-cost funds that track market indexes, an approach to investing supported by theory and evidence. Dimensional similarly applies theory and evidence to portfolio design, but, unlike an index fund, they aim to beat the market. That sounds good in theory, but the obvious question is “does it work?” References: https://zbib.org/a230271e5cd349089f0b17a3caf46139 ------------------ Meet with PWL Capital: https://pages.pwlcapital.com/en-ca/contact-us?utm_source=content&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=benfelix_yt Follow Ben Felix on - Twitter: https://twitter.com/benjaminwfelix Visit Rational Reminder: https://rationalreminder.ca/ Join the Rational Reminder Community: https://community.rationalreminder.ca/ Follow the Rational Reminder on: - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RationalRemind - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rationalreminder/ Visit PWL Capital: https://www.pwlcapital.com/ Follow PWL Capital on: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/PWLCapital - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PWLCapital - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pwl-capital/ You can find the Rational Reminder podcast on Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yYXRpb25hbHJlbWluZGVyLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582?mt=2 Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RHWTH9iW7hdnA7eAg7ukO?si=hjZNfLKuSjSeWX38GPqhVA ------------------
