Summary

My guest today is Daniel Peris, a portfolio manager at Federated Investors. Before transitioning into asset management, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history, but now self identifies as a business investor. Daniel has strong views on economic practices like the efficient market hypothesis (Eugene Fama) and modern portfolio theory.

The topic is his book Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio.

Modern portfolio theory
Efficient market hypothesis
Value investing
Momentum investing
Diversification
Portfolio selection
Defining risk
