1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: How much you pay for your stocks has a giant 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: impact on how well they perform. Chase a hot etf 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: for mutual fund that's run up and you might come 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: to regret it. I'm Barry Ridolfs, and on today's edition 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: of At the Money, we're going to discuss whether value 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: investing should be part of your strategy. To help us 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: unpack all of this and what it means for your portfolio, 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: let's bring in Jeremy Schwartz, global chief investment officer at 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: Wisdom Tree Asset Management and longtime collaborator with Wharton professor 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: Jeremy Siegel. Both Jeremies are co authors of the investing 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: Classic Stocks for the Long Run. Let's start with a 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: simple question, what is value investing? 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: Value investing we define as really looking at price versus 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: some fundamental metric of value. Are our favorite ones are 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: dividings and earnings. You say, why do you buy a 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: stock present value of future cash flows? Any asset is 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: present value future cashlows, and stocks those cash flows are dividends. 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: Dividends come from earnings, and so those are sort of 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: anchors to valuation, and you know, so it's a critical 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: component judging his stock based on what it produces to 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: you as an investor. 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: So last time we had you on, we discussed stocks 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: for the long term. What advantages do you get from 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: investing with a value tails over the long term. 25 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: You know, I think one of the big risks to 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: the market are these major bubbles. It sort of tech 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: bubble in two thousand is the classic example. And you know, 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: Siegel had long been just a Vanguard buy and hold 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: in stocks are long when he gave Vanguard a lot 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: of free publicity just saying buy the market, buy cheaply 31 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: with index funds until the tech bubble where he started 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: talking about this massive overvaluation in sort of these big 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: cat tech stocks. 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: He had a very famous Wall Street journal piece in 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: like large fourteen two thousand so days before the bubble popped. 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: And basically said, there's huge tech stocks, triple digitpeasy. You 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: can never justify the valuations no matter what the growth. 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: So his own portfolio started selling the S and P 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: five hundred and buying value. And his second book, The 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: Future for Investors, was all about these strategies to protect 41 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: from bubbles and be a valuation sensitive investor, and that's 42 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: where he focused a lot on dividends. A lot on 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: earnings and strategies that sort of the market buy those 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: factors to try to find the cheapest stocks on those factors. 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: So Professor Siegel very specifically said, don't focus on the 46 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: short term price movements. Instead, focus on the underlying fundamentals 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: of the business. 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we tell a story in the Book of 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: Future for investors, and even now in the new stocks 50 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: are long run of IBM versus Xon, and they are 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: two very interesting stories beause they've been around for decades. 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: So we look back seventy years of returns, and you 53 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: look at the growth rates of IBM versus x ON 54 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: over the last seventy years, and you say IBM beat 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Xon by three percentage points ZRE on sales growth, three 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: percent on earning growth, dividend growth, book value. With any 57 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: growth metric, it wins over all long term time periods. 58 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: But then why was Xon the better return for the 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: last seventy years? And it's interesting like Exon sold at 60 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: a twelve pe, IBM sold at a twenty two pe 61 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: on average, one sold at a two percent diven yield, 62 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: one sold at a five percent of yield. Right, so 63 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: you had Exon being the classic value stock IBM the 64 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: classic growth stock. I think of that largely like the 65 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: market versus high dividend or value investing to stay, the 66 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: s and P is around twenty times like IBM was, 67 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: it's below a two percent yield. High dimmerent stocks are 68 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: like a five percent yield and ten pes. So it's 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 2: really this sort of valuation sensitive approach. But people get 70 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: too optimistic on the more expensive parts and two pessimistic 71 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: on the value segments. 72 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: So how should we measure value as an investor, whether 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: it's picking out individual stocks or buying broad indexes, what's 74 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the best way to think about value? 75 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: I mean the real risk to value? Are you buying 76 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: these value traps where the price is low for good reason? Right, 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: they're forecasting that fundamentals aren't sustainable, and you never know 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: that with a single stock. And so that is we 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 2: talked about diversification and buying index funds for the whole 80 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: market is a very sensible way to do it. Even 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: for these value strategies, you can get rules based discipline 82 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: strategies of hundreds of stocks that get you that type 83 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: of value discipline. Whether you're looking at things like high 84 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: divins that we do at with some tree, other factors 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: that you can sort by ideas getting a broad doors 86 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: fire portfolio, not trying to buy a single cheap stock. 87 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: So for people who are trying to wrap their head 88 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: around the typical value investor, give us some examples of 89 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: famous value fund managers who put this into practice. 90 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: It was interesting when we first I talked about the 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: future for investors and we started working on that, Siegel 92 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: suggested I go read everything Wren Buffett had ever and 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: the time Buffett was coming out against the tech stocks too, 94 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: back twenty years ago and saying these. 95 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: I recall people saying, oh, this guy's past his prime. 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: He's done. You could put a fork and. 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: War on Buffett exactly. And so we were reading every 98 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: letter he had written. And you know, it's interesting. Buffett's 99 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: own evol been from being a Ben Graham style buying 100 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: just cheap price to bookstocks. What he called cigar butt 101 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: investing later on is getting last puffs of these cigars 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: that were through cheap stocks at their very last moments, 103 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: towards actually morpheing towards a quality investor and buying Apples, 104 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: one of his flagship companies now. And I do think 105 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: over time they've found buying these high quality businesses at 106 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: fair prices is also part of the value investing framework. 107 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: But he's definitely one that we looked up to and 108 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: tried to model a lot of our thinking of what 109 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: is value investing off of this high quality franchise businesses too, 110 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: you could. 111 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Do worse than were on Buffett and I recall when 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: he was first buying Apple, it was trading at a 113 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: pee of like twelve or thirteen, very reasonable for what 114 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: the company later became. 115 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, now it's around thirty times, not having the same 116 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: growth rates as that used to, but it still has 117 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: these huge valuable franchises and they consistently grow their dimons. 118 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: They do buybacks, they're doing the types of returning cash 119 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: or shareholders approach that he likes. 120 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: So we're recording this towards the end of twenty twenty three. 121 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: Both has done really well. What makes value more attractive? 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Then let's call it growth investor. 123 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: You know what we talk about the long term benefits 124 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: to value, But the last fifteen years have been a 125 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: very painful stretch to be a value investor. It has 126 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: definitely been a fifteen year stretch hallmarked by growth until 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, and then you had things like the 128 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: Nasdaq down a third and high divins stocks positive. Okay, 129 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: now it's reverse again entirely this year in twenty twenty three. 130 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: Going forward, you know what's driven growth? Things like Apple 131 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: that you said, were you know, twelve pees. Microsoft, they 132 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 2: they had very low pees and then they had above 133 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 2: average growth and expanding multiple. So we had two tailwinds, 134 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: better growth, multiple expansion. It's going to be hard for 135 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: them to have the same multiple expansion ahead. And so 136 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: then the question all comes down to earnings growth. Can 137 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: these big tech stocks keep growing earnings much faster than 138 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: the market, That's the real question. And they're very big, 139 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: you know, some of them. We'll be able to keep 140 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: their motes for some time. But often when you get 141 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: these high multiples, earnings start to disappoint, and that's when 142 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: the corrections come and value, you know, a high dive 143 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: in basket a ten pe a ten percent earning yield, 144 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: you don't need real growth, you're just getting the return. 145 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: Ten percent is a very good return in real cash flows. 146 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: And so I think that is a basket that I 147 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: think I'm very optimistic on over the next ten years. 148 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: So I hate when people blame bad performance on the Fed. 149 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: But I can't help but wonder fifteen years of outperformance 150 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: by growth investors coincided with very very low rates. Suddenly 151 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: the FED normalizes rates. Maybe it was a little quickly, 152 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: but rates are back up to over five percent. Seems 153 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: to be a period where value does better when capital 154 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: isn't free at any truth to that. 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: It's very interesting, and there's there's some debates back and 156 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: forth at cliff Astness saying that interest rates haven't been 157 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: a factor for value as a cycle. Professor Siegel's talked 158 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: a lot about the duration with these high expensive gross 159 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: stocks are being more like long duration assets, and that 160 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: raising rates should impact the valuations of the highest gross stocks. 161 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: It's fascinating. A lot of the traditional relationships are flipped 162 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: on their head. I thought of small caps as benefiting 163 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: from a stronger economy, and you see rising rates good 164 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: for small caps. But small caps today are trading the 165 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: opposite of rates, where they have the most lending that's 166 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: tied to floating rate instruments. They don't have debt, so 167 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: they're barring from banks and using bank loans, so they're 168 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: facing they're like the only people facing the cost of 169 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: these higher rates is they're paying more interest on their 170 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 2: bank loans, and so when rays have been falling over 171 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: the last few weeks, small caps have been out performing 172 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: or doing much better. So a lot of the traditional 173 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: relationships have been challenged this year. But I think we 174 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: come back to valuation drive's return over the very long run. 175 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: So when we think about small caps and ten to 176 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: eleven pees, high differnes stocks at ten to eleven pees 177 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: that we think will really matter over the long termine, 178 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: not just the FED in the interest rates situation. 179 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: So let's talk exactly about that basket of stocks with 180 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: a ten pe versus a growth basket with a thirty pe. 181 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: I like the idea of a pretty fat dividend yield 182 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: and that low pe. Sometimes in the past we've seen 183 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: high divinend stocks have their yields cut. What sort of 184 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: risk factor we we're looking at with these low pe 185 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: high divnend stocks. 186 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely true. You know, a thirty p was 187 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 2: just a three percent earning shield. Those companies are expected 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: and will grow their earnings faster than the high dimon stocks. 189 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: There's no question they're gonna have faster growth rates. Questions, 190 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: can they maintain the growth rates that the markets really 191 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: do expect and so that that's where there's the higher 192 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: the pe, the more the expectation, the harder they fall 193 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: when they disappoint over time. But there is this value 194 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: trapped sense, you know, are you buying just stocks that 195 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: may cut the dividends. We try to screen for things 196 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: that could have sustainable divining growth and negative momentum. Is 197 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: does a market know something that the fundamentals haven't reflected, 198 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 2: is not in the earnings, non the dibvons yet, So 199 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: you try to screen for that. But in general, what 200 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: we found is a very long period of time, the 201 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: market overly discounts the bad news and sort of they 202 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: become too cheap over a long period of time. 203 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: So what you're really driving towards is expectations matter a lot. 204 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: High pe stocks, high growth stocks have very high expectations 205 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: and they can disappoint just by growing fast but not 206 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: fast enough. And yet we look at these value stocks 207 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: that are often overlooked and they have very low expectations. 208 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the classic case for like Navidia today, 209 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 2: which is one of the highest multiple stocks in the SNP. 210 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: They've been delivering, they've been one of the best growth 211 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: stories you've ever heard, you know, continuing the AI revolution, 212 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: But can they keep delivering this record growth rates? It 213 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: can be tough for them. 214 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: We sold the last quarter they had great numbers, not great. 215 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: Enough, and yes they haven't quite broken this new all 216 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 2: time high level. It's a classic case of it's just 217 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: going to be tough for them to keep delivering on 218 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: these very elevated growth rates. 219 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: So if an investor is thinking about managing risk and 220 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: having a margin of safety, you're obviously saying value is 221 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: the better bet thing. 222 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: Growth value in small caps today both you can get 223 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: ten to twelve times earnings. Yeah, high diffen stocks I 224 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: think are one of the cheaper segments of even within 225 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: the value portfolios. High difms have been especially cheap today. 226 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: So we've been talking about risk, we've been talking about volatility, 227 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about performance. What are if any, the 228 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: value advantages over the long term regarding performance? 229 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: We found we've done some studies back to the S 230 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: and P five hundred exception in nineteen fifty seven. When 231 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: we look back over that, you know, sixty ish years, 232 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 2: the most expensive stocks lag the market by one hundred 233 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: to two hundred basis points a year. The cheapest stocks 234 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: outperformed by two hundred bases points a year, and so 235 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: these are compounding over sixty not quite seventy years, but 236 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: very long term periods, and so that there is a 237 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: substantial wealthy caa hmulation that comes with a one to 238 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: two percent year advantage or a lag. 239 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: So to wrap up, investors who concentrate more in value 240 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: indexes tend to have less volatility and lower risk than 241 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: stockpickers and other investors do. And long term value investors 242 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: also have the potential to generate better returns.
