The Real Yale Model

what-teds-thinking
September 7, 2023
Investors following David Swensen too often miss the mark in their interpretation of his theory.

Active Management Today is a Single Decision

what-teds-thinking
August 3, 2023

The portfolio manager spent forty minutes offering an articulate bull case for Samsung, in which he had a 20% long position. When he finished his impassioned presentation, I responded with a single question: “That sounds great, but why are you […]
