Episode Synopsis

Send us a textBuckle up for a thrilling foray into the world of equities, where we try to understand the risks we own when we invest in equities.We dissect the mean-variance theory, which predicts that greater volatility should fetch higher rewards, and we scrutinize the empirical data that puts this financial cornerstone to the test.We navigate the intricacies of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), an alternative framework for evaluating equity investments. However, it's not just a love story; we also cast a critical eye on the CAPM, exposing its shortcomings amidst real-world complexity.Then, we shift gears to dissect the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), decoding the nuance of factors like size and value in stock returns. As we peel back the layers of these financial models, we reveal how they can both enlighten investors and, at times, lead them astray.The final act of our financial drama puts passive and active investment strategies center stage. Witness the tug-of-war between the two as we scrutinize Warren Buffett's legendary tactics with Berkshire Hathaway through the lens of APT. Does Buffett's alchemy in outmaneuvering market expectations prove the superiority of active management? Or does it highlight an anomaly in an otherwise efficient market? Join us for a riveting dialogue that not only challenges what you think you know about investing but also aims to elevate your market acumen to the next level.Notes - https://1drv.ms/p/s!AqjfuX3WVgp8uWo1lG57LUc15OlX?e=jnZf77Thanks for listening!
