Can large value stocks hold their own against small value stocks? The answer might surprise you!

In this video we challenge the narrative that small value stocks dominate, explore what really matters for long-only value investors, discuss the impact of liquidity, rebalancing, and portfolio weighting, and examine evidence from U.S. and international markets by examining Jack Vogel's academic paper, "Long Only Investing: Does Size Matter?".

Key Topics:
• Why long/short results don't apply to most investors
• The case for equal-weighting large value stocks
• Liquidity advantages of large caps
• Factor decay and rebalancing frequency in portfolios
• Market cap weighting risks in portfolio construction
