Validea’s Jack Forehand joined the Resolve Riffs YouTube show and podcast on November 12^th to discuss factor investing and our approach to building quantitative strategies.

Topics covered in the discussion include:

• The story of Validea and how it evolved into what it is today
• The process we use to extract investment strategies from published research and writings
• The multiple points of failure investors face and how to mitigate them
• Why an investor’s belief in a strategy can be more important than the strategy itself
• The importance of understanding the potential worst outcomes from any strategy.
• And since it is a happy hour podcast, Jack’s keys to making a good margarita
