An interview with Gerard O’Reilly, Co-CEO and CIO at Dimensional Fund Advisors explaining the importance of Evidence-Based Investing.

This video highlights the simple but successful philosophy of Evidence Based Investing versus traditional investing methods.

A good advisor can add about 3% a year to your net investment returns. They do this by keeping you on track, keeping costs low and helping you avoid bad financial decisions.

Your behaviour is a huge factor in investment success. Humans are naturally hard-wired to make bad investment decisions. Self-awareness and preparation are crucial in order to avoid failure.

Evidence-Based Investing is a way to consistently get higher returns and outperform the broad market by utilising the beneficial aspects of passive investing.
