In Episode 8 of the Rational Reminder podcast we discussed the following:

  • Fidelity’s 0% MER index funds are already at $1 billion
  • When costs are 0%, how do you pick a fund?
  • Indexing is not a passive investment strategy
  • Index construction and product implementation > low fees
  • A three factor regression on the Manulife Multifactor ETFs
  • Indexing is still a tiny part of the market
  • Not all factors belong in a portfolio
  • Dividend investing shouldn’t be so controversial
  • Dividends are not a spending rule
  • Financial experts don’t sound like experts to non-experts
  • Sell everything!
