You're listening to TIP.

There's kind of a point of limiting benefit where as you add more and more factors to a portfolio,

0:08.7

you start to decrease the impact they have on your expected return.

0:12.6

It's kind of a point of diminishing returns, I guess.

0:14.3

It happens pretty quickly once you get past two or three factors and the other stuff you're adding in
