Upcoming Complimentary APViewpoint Events

Presenter: Jim O’Shaughnessy

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 – 4:15 p.m. EST

Assets in index funds and ETFs are reaching all-time highs, driven in part by the belief that stock selection strategies have become a fool’s errand for investors who are trying to outperform the market. In this webinar, Jim O’Shaughnessy will share empirical research conducted over 80 years to debunk this myth and identify time-tested principles that allow investors to consistently beat the market.

During the webinar he will:

  • highlight the benefits and flaws of indexing, with a particular focus on unraveling the myth of market efficiency among U.S. large caps;
  • offer his perspective on the evolution of factor-based investing as an alternative to indexing; and
  • share research that combines the best aspects of both active and passive investing into a complete investment strategy.

Jim will discuss research on factors-based stock selection where quality, valuation and yield criteria generate returns that dramatically and consistently outperform the U.S. large-cap market on an absolute-and risk-adjusted return basis. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, and after the session Jim will be available to discuss its content on APViewpoint.
