Episode Synopsis "Do Insiders Have an Advantage?"

Most people believe the investment world isn’t fair. It’s them versus us. The insiders—those hedge fund managers you see on the front page of the papers making million dollar trades—versus the the rest of us, the outsiders. But does having access to all those resources really make you a more successful investor? In this episode we address our namesake, ‘smart money’. Is there such a thing as ‘smart money’, and if there is, what does it mean? I spoke with attendees at the World Money Show in Toronto to hear what ‘smart money’ meant to them, and caught up with Peter Hodson of 5i Research and financial journalist Rob Carrick to find out what they had to say. So, is it really us versus them? And is there any evidence to show that these insiders, the so-called ‘smart money’, do better than the average investor? Listen to hear The Smart Money verdict.
