Rob Arnott on The Upside of Getting Dumped: Investing in Index Deletions | #549
Today’s returning guest is Rob Arnott, founder and Chairman of Research Affiliates. In today’s episode, Rob discusses his newest article, ‘Nixed: The Upside of Getting Dumped,’ which explores the concept of investing in stocks that have been removed from major indexes. He explains that these ‘dumped’ stocks often outperform the market and thinks investing in a strategy such as this provides an opportunity to invest in deep value, small-cap, and unloved companies. Meb and Rob touch on other topics, including the performance of value investing, the narrative around AI, and the macroeconomic backdrop.
