Jenny Kellams Interviewed on Michael Covel’s Trend Following Podcast

Dr. Daniel Crosby is the Chief Behavior Officer of Brinker Capital, and the host of The Standard Deviation Podcast. Dr. Crosby came to investment management through clinical psychology and therefore has a unique perspective on behavioral economics and the conversation ranges from how human behavior is evolutionarily ill-equipped for investment management, the importance of having rules for investing during turbulent times, and what investors can do to modify their behavior to achieve success.

In Part 1, Niels and Daniel discuss why the evolution of human behavior is antithetical to investing and how being a quantitative investor is beneficial to overcoming bad behavioral economics. They also discuss the building blocks of behavioral finance and why “I don't know” is the most under-appreciated phrase in investing.

In Part 2, Niels and Daniel discuss how emotion affects investment decision-making, the problem with financial media, and what investors can do to correct their bad investment behavior. They also dig deeper into how to deal with emotions as an investor and why rules are better than goals, before moving on to Daniel's Four “C”s of investing. The conversation ends on the topics of why overabundance of data can be detrimental to decision-making, why process over outcome is important and why volatility is not the same as risk.

In this conversation, Marty speaks with Meb Faber, host of one of the leading financial podcasts in the world. He discusses his background and the story of how he met and became the protégé of Bill Dunn.

Marty provides a deep dive into the WMA program, digging into portfolio construction, the evolution of the system over three decades, and the importance of research and adaptability.

Both guys talk about common misconceptions about trend following and theorize about why the strategy hasn't become more popular.
