Bespokecast — Episode 5 — Meb Faber

In our newest conversation on Bespokecast, we speak with investor, blogger, analyst, and commentator Meb Faber.  Meb is the CIO of Cambria Investments, has written three books on investing as well as 10 white papers and countless blog posts.  You can follow his work at MebFaber.com.  Cambria’s ETFs cover a broad swathe of US and global equity markets as well as asset allocation and fixed income.  For Meb and Cambria, evidence-based investing is at the core of their investment approach, and we spend much of the podcast discussing the specific investment strategies this leads to.  We were thrilled to record this conversation and are very excited with how it turned out.  We hope you feel the same!

Bespokecast — Episode 1 — Mark Dow

Bespoke is happy to introduce a brand new product today!  “Bespokecast” is our new podcast series providing an in-depth discussion with a market professional whose views we find interesting or insightful into the world of finance and economics.  We’re planning on doing one per month at this point, but if it’s well received, we may do it more often.  Each conversation will run between 30-60 minutes, and Bespoke research clients will receive access one week before the podcast is made available to the general public.

This month, we spoke with International Monetary Fund and hedge fund veteran Mark Dow.  Mark’s blog Behavioral Macro and his Twitter account @mark_dow are widely followed for their insights into macro investing, and he was kind enough to spend an hour with us discussing his background, trading strategy, views on some specific asset classes and the economy, and risk management.  We hope you enjoy the discussion.
