Whether you’re new to The Evidence-Based Investor, or a regular visitor to this site, I’d like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to stick around for a little while.
That’s because in addition to our regular blog content, we have three new attractions to keep you informed and entertained:
1. Video
Video is a hugely effective way of educating investors and the new video section of the site is long overdue. Here you’ll find a number of video series that help to explain the evidence-based approach, including Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors, How to Win the Loser’s Game and Stock Market History: A Crash Course for Investors.
2. Evidence
Wherever possible I try to refer in my blog posts to the relevant academic research. But now we have a library of academic papers for you to browse through, or to use a go-to resource whenever you’re looking for evidence on a particular aspect of investing. Simply enter the search term and click on Submit.
3. SPIVA
Regular TEBI readers will know that I regularly refer to the SPIVA (or S&P Index Versus Active) data provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices. It’s an extremely valuable resource that investors, including professionals, should make far more use of. To see how actively managed funds have performed against the index over the past ten years, just click on the relevant scorecard.
I hope you enjoy these three new features. Please remember that I’m a journalist, not a financial professional; I would urge anyone who hasn’t yet done so to seek the help of a qualified financial adviser.
The Evidence-Based Investor is not linked to any financial organisation. It’s a non-revenue-generating service that provides news, information and educational content about investing on a pro bono basis. Our aim is to play a small part in helping to change investing for the better.
If you share that aim, and would like to support us, I’ll explain how you can in a future post.
