  • Episodes run too long

    In the first episode they say each episode will be 25 minutes max. 2nd episode: 35 minutes long. Stick to your promises!

  • Happy I found this

    found this show recently. I’m been a CFA for almost a decade but didn’t know this existed. Great content and top tier guests. Look forward to more investment focused contents. Just lay off the climate and ESG stuff. Too much of that lately.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eddie Perkin, CFA: How to Outthink Investment Biases
Q: Can you describe the desert island investing idea and its practical implications for portfolio construction?
Select a small set of the absolute best, most durable companies that you would hold if you could own only a few stocks for decades; this frames decisions around long-term value and reduces the temptation to chase short-term gains.
Eddie Perkin, CFA: How to Outthink Investment Biases
Q: What is the zero-based portfolio rebuild and how does it help break cognitive biases?
Treat every new cycle as if starting from scratch with a blank portfolio, assessing positions across all sectors, then compare to the current holdings to identify meaningful differences and initiate debate that challenges the status quo.
Irina Bevza, CFA: The AI Self-Driving Portfolio—Are We There Yet?
Q: What are the main governance or accountability challenges with AI-driven portfolios?
Key challenges include transparency, auditability, regulatory alignment, and determining who bears responsibility for automated decisions, especially in volatile markets.
Irina Bevza, CFA: The AI Self-Driving Portfolio—Are We There Yet?
Q: Do you think AI will replace human portfolio managers or simply change their roles?
AI will more likely enable collaboration, speeding up analysis and reducing latency, while human managers evolve to oversee, validate, and interpret AI-driven recommendations.
Irina Bevza, CFA: The AI Self-Driving Portfolio—Are We There Yet?
Q: What exactly do you mean by a self-driving portfolio and how would the agents operate together?
We would have a layered system of agents handling data processing, research, risk management, portfolio construction, and even critique, working in concert with humans to ensure decisions are well-grounded and auditable.
