Diversify your portfolio to withstand black swans.   > “If you build a portfolio that can withstand the black swans and is highly diversified, then psychological or economic events won’t force you to sell.” > Larry Swedroe   In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry’s new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing [https://amzn.to/4ebG33x]. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners [https://buckinghamwealthpartners.com/] to help investors. You can learn more about Larry’s Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks [https://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep645-larry-swedroe-beware-of-idiosyncratic-risks/]. Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 18: Black Swans and Fat Tails. CHAPTER 18: BLACK SWANS AND FAT TAILS In this chapter, Larry explains the importance of never treating the unlikely as impossible and ensuring your plan includes the near certainty that black swan events will appear. Thus, your plan should consider their risks and how to address them. UNDERSTANDING THE RISK OF FAT TAILS In terms of investing, Larry says, fat tails are distributions in which very low and high values are more frequent than a normal distribution predicts. In a normal distribution, the tails to the extreme left and extreme right of the mean become smaller, ultimately reaching zero occurrences. However, the historical evidence on stock returns is that they demonstrate occurrences of low and high values that are far greater than theoretically expected by a normal distribution. Thus, understanding the risk of fat tails is essential to developing an appropriate asset allocation and investment plan. Unfortunately, Larry notes, many investors fail to account for the risks of fat tails. HISTORY OF THE BLACK SWANS With the publication of Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s 2001 book Fooled by Randomness [https://amzn.to/4hjRcAZ], the term black swan became part of the investment vernacular—virtually synonymous with the term fat tail. In his second book, The Black Swan [https://amzn.to/4hq6yDV], published in 2007, Taleb called a black swan an event with three attributes: * It is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. * It carries an extreme impact. * Despite its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable. Taleb went on further to show that stock returns have big fat tails. Their distribution of returns is not normally distributed, and fat tails mean that what people think are unlikely events are much more likely to occur than people believe will. To illustrate this, Larry uses an example: if you take stock returns, and in the last 100 years, you cut out one best month per year, which is 1% of the distribution, the assumption is that you wouldn’t lose all that much of the returns. But the fact is, you lose most of the returns. So that’s the good fat tails. Similarly, if you avoid the worst months, your returns become spectacular. DO NOT TRY TO TIME THE MARKET However, Larry cautions investors that trying to time the market because of unpredictable events is the wrong strategy. The fact that you have fat tails in the data doesn’t mean you should try to time the market or engage in an active management strategy because evidence shows that it doesn’t work. What it means, very simply put, is that your investment strategy, investment policy, and asset allocation decisions must take into account that these fat tails exist; they’re unpredictable, and therefore, don’t take more risks than you can stomach. Further, Larry adds, you must be prepared to rebalance the portfolio to take advantage of those drops and buy more when things are down. ACTIVE MANAGEMENT WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM FAT TAILS The existence of fat tails doesn’t change the prudent strategy of being a passive buy, hold, and rebalance investor. Active managers have demonstrated no ability to protect investors from fat tails. However, the existence of fat tails is significant because of their effect on portfolios. The risks of black swans and the damage they can do to portfolios, especially for those in the withdrawal phase, must be considered when designing your asset allocation. With that in mind, Larry offers the following advice: * Make sure your investment plan accounts for the existence of fat tails. * Don’t take more risks than you have the ability, willingness, or need to take. * Never treat the unlikely as impossible or the likely as certain.

Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 17: There is Only One Way to See Things Rightly. CHAPTER 17: THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SEE THINGS RIGHTLY In this chapter, Larry enlightens us on the benefits of considering the overall impact of investments rather than focusing on individual metrics. This holistic approach empowers investors and advisors to make more informed decisions. DON’T VIEW AN ASSET CLASS’S RETURNS AND RISK IN ISOLATION A common mistake that investors and even professional advisors often make is viewing an asset class’s returns and risk in isolation. Larry emphasizes this point by giving the example of Vanguard’s popular index funds, the largest index funds in their respective categories, to make us all more cautious and aware of the potential pitfalls of this approach. From 1998 through 2022, the Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VFINX) returned 7.53% per annum, outperforming Vanguard’s Emerging Markets Index Fund (VEIEX), which returned 6.14% per annum. VFINX also experienced lower volatility of 15.7% versus 22.6% for VEIEX. The result was that VFINX produced a much higher Sharpe ratio (risk-adjusted return measure) of 0.43 versus 0.30 for VEIEX. WHY MORE VOLATILE EMERGING MARKETS HAVE A HIGHER RETURN According to Larry, despite including an allocation to the lower returning and more volatile VEIEX, a portfolio of 90% VFINX/10% VEIEX, rebalanced annually, would have outperformed, returning 7.59%. And it did so while also producing the same Sharpe ratio of 0.43. Perhaps surprisingly, a 20% allocation to VEIEX would have done even better, returning 7.61% with a 0.43 Sharpe ratio. Even a 30% allocation to VEIEX would have returned 7.59%, higher than the 7.53% return of VFINX (though the Sharpe ratio would have fallen slightly to 0.42 from 0.43). The portfolios that included an allocation to the lower-returning and more volatile emerging markets benefited from the imperfect correlation of returns (0.77) between the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. THE RIGHT WAY TO BUILD A PORTFOLIO Larry says there is only one right way to build a portfolio—by recognizing that the risk and return of any asset class by itself should be irrelevant. The only thing that should matter is considering how adding an asset class impacts the risk and return of the entire portfolio. Further, Larry stresses the importance of global diversification, a strategy that can reassure and instill confidence in investors and advisors. He points out that if markets are efficient, all risky assets should have very similar risk-adjusted returns. This argument for broad global diversification, avoiding the home country bias, is a logical starting point for you to consider in your investment strategies.

In this series, they discuss Chapter 16: All Crystal Balls are Cloudy. LEARNING: Estimated return is not always inevitable.   > “If returns are negative early on, don’t withdraw large amounts because when the market eventually recovers, you won’t have that money to earn your returns.” > Larry Swedroe   In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry’s new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing [https://amzn.to/4ebG33x]. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners [https://buckinghamwealthpartners.com/] to help investors. You can learn more about Larry’s Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks [https://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep645-larry-swedroe-beware-of-idiosyncratic-risks/]. Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 16: All Crystal Balls are Cloudy. CHAPTER 16: ALL CRYSTAL BALLS ARE CLOUDY In this chapter, Larry illustrates why past returns are not crystal balls that predict future returns. According to Larry, the problem with all forecasts that deal with estimations of probabilities is that people tend to think of them in a deterministic way. He says that as an investor, you should think about returns with the idea that distribution and estimate are only the middle points. Your plan has to be prepared for either the good tail to show up, which is easy to deal with and usually will allow you to take chips off the table and reduce your risk because you’ll be well ahead of your goal. But if the bad tail shows up, you may have to either work longer, plan on saving more, or rebalance, which means buying stocks at a tough time. THE THREAT OF SEQUENCE RISK To demonstrate the danger of sequence risk, Larry asks us to imagine it’s 1973, and stocks have returned 8% in real terms and 10% in nominal returns. We’ve had similar results over the next 50 years. Say an investor in that time frame decides to withdraw 7% yearly from their portfolio in real terms because they know with their clear crystal ball that they will get 8% for the next 50 years. This means if they take out, say, $100,000 in the first year, and inflation is 3%, to keep their actual spending the same, they have to take out $103,000. According to Larry, this investor will be bankrupt within 10 years due to the sequence of returns, which is the order in which the returns occur, not the returns themselves. As you can see in the table below, despite providing an 8.7% per annum real return over the 27 years, because the S&P 500 Index declined by more than 37% from January 1973 through December 1974, withdrawing an inflation-adjusted 7% per annum in the portfolio caused it to be depleted by the end of 1982—in just 10 years! (Note that from January 1973 through October 1974, when the bear market ended, the S&P 500 lost 48%.) SACRIFICING EXPECTED RETURNS Larry says this example shows the danger of sequence risk and illustrates that the order of returns matters significantly in the decumulation phase because systematic withdrawals work like a dollar-cost averaging program in reverse—market declines are accentuated. This can cause principal loss, which the portfolio may never recover from. In this case, the combination of the bear market and relatively high inflation caused the portfolio to shrink by almost 56% in the first two years. For the portfolio to be restored to its original $1 million level, the S&P 500 Index would have had to return 127% in 1975. And because of the inflation experienced, the amount to be withdrawn would have needed to increase from $70,000 to over $90,000. In such cases, the odds of outliving one’s assets significantly increase if you don’t adjust the plan (such as increasing savings, delaying retirement, or reducing the spending goal). THE ORDER OF RETURNS MATTERS According to Larry, our investor made the mistake of treating the single-point estimate as if it were an inevitable outcome and not a single potential outcome within a broad spectrum of potential outcomes. Another mistake our investor made was failing to consider that his investment experience might be different from the return over the entire period because of the impact of his withdrawals. In other words, the order of returns matters, not just the returns over the entire period. ESTIMATED RETURN IS NOT INEVITABLE Larry insists that since we live in a world with cloudy crystal balls, and all we can do is estimate returns, it is best to avoid treating a portfolio’s estimated return as inevitable. Consider the possible dispersion of likely returns and calculate the odds of successfully achieving the financial goal. The goal is generally, though not always, defined as achieving and maintaining an acceptable lifestyle—not running out of money while still alive. In other words, the goal is not to retire with as much wealth as possible but to ensure you do not retire poor and risk running out of assets while still alive. USING A MONTE CARLO SIMULATOR TO FORECAST THE POTENTIAL DISPERSION OF RETURNS Larry says that forecasting the potential dispersion of returns is best accomplished through a Monte Carlo simulator—a computer simulation that uses random processes to model the impact of risk and uncertainty in financial and investment forecasting. This tool allows one to see the probabilities of different possible outcomes of an investment strategy. The computer program will produce numerous random iterations (usually at least 1,000 and often many thousands), letting one see the odds of meeting a goal. Since thousands of iterations are run, one must think about probabilities instead of just one outcome. PROJECTING THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS Divide the Monte Carlo simulation based on your investment life into an accumulation phase when you’re working and making contributions and a distribution phase that begins when you retire and lasts as long as you live. The inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation are: * The investment assumptions (expected returns, standard deviations, and correlations) * Future deposits into the investment account * The desired annual withdrawal amount * The years the account must last The output is summarized by assigning probabilities to the various investment outcomes. The ultimate goal is to ensure you are comfortable with the projected likelihood of success—the odds you can withdraw sufficient funds from the portfolio each year and still achieve your financial goal. NOBODY CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE WHEN PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED In conclusion, Larry reminds investors that crystal balls will always be cloudy when forecasting the future, be it the weather or stock market returns. He quotes Alan Greenspan’s advice: “Learn everything you can, collect all the data, crunch all the numbers before making a prediction or a financial forecast. Even then, accept and understand that nobody can predict the future when people are involved.” However, Larry adds that the inability to forecast the future accurately does not render forecasting useless. It just means we must accept this shortcoming and take it into account. Another essential investment advice is to never make the mistake of treating even the highly likely as if it were inevitable.

Damon Pistulka - The Role of Technology in Business Growth

BIO: Damon Pistulka, co-founder of Exit Your Way, is known for his hands-on, practical approach to helping business owners maximize value and achieve successful exits. STORY: Damon explains his journey into understanding technology and its role in business growth. LEARNING: Stay informed and adapt to changing industry trends. Adapt to changing customer expectations and preferences.   > “The simple things we can do with technology today make the customer experience so much better.” > Damon Pistulka   GUEST PROFILE Damon Pistulka [https://www.linkedin.com/in/damonpistulka/], co-founder of Exit Your Way, is known for his hands-on, practical approach to helping business owners maximize value and achieve successful exits. With over 20 years of experience, Damon is dedicated to transforming businesses, enhancing profitability, and helping founders create lasting legacies . TECHNOLOGY IS YOUR BUSINESS ALLY In today’s episode, Damon, who previously appeared on the podcast on episode Ep649: Be Careful of Concentration Risk [https://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep649-damon-pistulka-be-careful-of-concentration-risk/], discusses the value of technology in running a business. He emphasizes the importance of robotic process automation, CRMs, and AI in modern business operations to accelerate value. In his opinion, technology allows businesses to do simple things that improve customer experience. Damon highlights a couple of threats businesses face today that could be dealt with by adopting technology. 1. Rapid innovation is outpacing businesses. Those lagging behind will be overtaken by competitors who have adopted new technologies. 2. Aging workforce with limited new talent. There’s an aging workforce and limited new talent. As more people retire, businesses increasingly find it hard to replace the retirees with educated and qualified people. 3. Customers now expect top-tier service levels. Buyers are now demanding businesses provide instant feedback and real-time updates. Businesses that don’t meet customer expectations will not stay competitive. USING TECHNOLOGY TO DEAL WITH THE THREATS Damon explains his approach to helping clients develop business growth strategies. He emphasizes the importance of starting with small, manageable changes and gradually scaling up. Damon cautions entrepreneurs from trying to do it all. Instead, he advises starting with simple, practical changes, often referred to as ‘low-hanging fruits’—these are the tasks or opportunities that are the easiest to achieve and provide the quickest benefits. Gradually, as these are implemented, more complex systems can be adopted. SEEK OUT EXPERTS WHO CAN HELP YOU ADVANCE Further, Damon advises seeking out experts who can help you advance in the particular area you’re focusing on. Then, work your way up as you get your company, your people, and your supplier base comfortable with these changes. GET EDUCATED BEFORE ADOPTING NEW TECHNOLOGY Damon also underscores the importance of getting educated before adopting new technology. He advises becoming familiar and comfortable enough with it to try it, enabling you to identify potential areas where the technology could help your business. This approach instills a sense of preparedness and confidence. Then, he suggests hiring an expert to help you implement your new technologies and strategies. MOVE FAST Another way to deal with the business threats is to move fast. Damon says that speed sells, and businesses must adopt a speed and innovation culture. This culture is about encouraging and rewarding quick decision-making, rapid implementation of ideas, and a constant drive for improvement. Technology will help you do things in half the time and stay efficient and competitive in your operations, which is a key aspect of this culture. JUST GET STARTED Finally, according to Damon, just get started. Business owners wake up knowing what they have to do every day. By cutting the distractions and focusing on your core strengths and capabilities, you can stay reassured and focused. As Damon says, there’s a lot of time in your day if you throw out the junk.   [spp-transcript]   CONNECT WITH DAMON PISTULKA * Linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/damonpistulka/] * Twitter [https://twitter.com/dpistulka] * Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Exityourway] * YouTube  [https://www.youtube.com/c/ExitYourWay] * Website [https://exityourway.us/] ANDREW’S BOOKS * How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market [https://amzn.to/3qrfHjX] * My Worst Investment Ever [https://amzn.to/2PDApAo] * 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them [https://amzn.to/3v6ip1Y] * Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points [https://amzn.to/3emBO8M] ANDREW’S ONLINE PROGRAMS * Valuation Master Class [https://valuationmasterclass.com/] * The Become a Better Investor Community [https://astotz.kartra.com/page/become-a-better-investor-community] * How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/how-to-start-building-your-wealth-investing-in-the-stock-market] * Finance Made Ridiculously Simple [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/finance-made-ridiculously-simple] * FVMR Investing: Quantamental Investing Across the World [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/fvmr-investing-quantamental-investing-across-the-world] * Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/gp] * Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/transformyourbusiness] * Achieve Your Goals [https://academy.astotz.com/courses/achieve-your-goals] CONNECT WITH ANDREW STOTZ: * astotz.com [https://www.astotz.com/] * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewstotz/] * Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/andrewstotzpage] * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/andstotz/] * Threads [https://www.threads.net/@andstotz] * Twitter [https://twitter.com/Andrew_Stotz] * YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/c/andrewstotzpage] * My Worst Investment Ever Podcast [https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/my-worst-investment-ever-podcast/id1416554991?mt=2]

Enrich Your Future 15: Individual Stocks Are Riskier Than You Believe

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry’s new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing [https://amzn.to/4ebG33x]. In this series, they discuss Chapter 15: Individual Stocks Are Riskier Than Investors Believe. LEARNING: Don’t invest in individual stocks. Instead, diversify your portfolio to reduce your risk.   > “Diversification has been said to be the only free lunch in investing. Unfortunately, most investors fail to use the full buffet available.” > Larry Swedroe   In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry’s new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing [https://amzn.to/4ebG33x]. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners [https://buckinghamwealthpartners.com/] to help investors. You can learn more about Larry’s Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks [https://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep645-larry-swedroe-beware-of-idiosyncratic-risks/]. Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 15: Individual Stocks Are Riskier Than Investors Believe. CHAPTER 15: INDIVIDUAL STOCKS ARE RISKIER THAN INVESTORS BELIEVE In this chapter, Larry reveals the stark reality of investing in individual stocks, highlighting the significant risks involved. His aim is to help investors understand the potential pitfalls of this high-stakes game and why they should avoid it. Given the apparent benefits of diversification, it’s baffling why investors don’t hold highly diversified portfolios. According to Larry, one reason is that most investors likely don’t understand how risky individual stocks are compared to owning a broad selection of hundreds or thousands of stocks. EVIDENCE THAT INDIVIDUAL STOCKS ARE VERY RISKY Larry notes that the stock market has returned roughly 10% per year over the last 100 years, and the standard deviation on an annual basis of a portfolio of a broad market of stocks has been about 20%. He observes that most people don’t understand that the average individual stock has a standard deviation of more than twice that. In another study from 1983 to 2006 that covered the top 3,000 stocks, the stock market returned almost 13% per annum, but the median return was just 5.1%, nearly 8% below the market’s return. The mean annualized return was -1.1%. This means that if you randomly pick one stock, the odds would say you’re more likely to get -1.1%. However, if you own hundreds or thousands of stocks, the odds are in your favor, and you’ll get very close to that mean return. Larry shares another stark example of the riskiness of individual stocks. Despite the 1990s being one of the greatest bull markets of all time, with the Russell 3000 providing an annualized return of 17.7% and a cumulative return of almost 410%, 22% of the 2,397 U.S. stocks in existence throughout the decade had negative absolute returns. This means they underperformed by at least 410%. Over the decade, inflation was a cumulative 33.5%, meaning they lost at least 33.5% in real terms. In another study by Hendrik Bessembinder [https://www.newealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2019-08-13-ASU-Do-Stocks-outperform-Treasury-Bills.pdf] of all common stocks listed on the NYSE, Amex, and NASDAQ exchanges from 1926 through 2015 and included. He found: * Only 47.7% of returns were more significant than the one-month Treasury rate. * Even at the decade horizon, a minority of stocks outperformed Treasury bills. * From the beginning of the sample or first appearance in the data through the end of the sample or delisting, and including delisting returns when appropriate, just 42.1% of common stocks had a holding period return greater than one-month Treasury bills. * While more than 71% of individual stocks had a positive arithmetic average return over their entire life, only a minority (49.2%) of common stocks had a positive lifetime holding period return, and the median lifetime return was -3.7%. This is because of volatility and the difference in arithmetic (annual average) returns versus geometric (compound or annualized) returns. For example, if a stock loses 50% in the first year and then gains 60% in the second, it has a positive arithmetic return but has lost money (20%) and has a negative geometric return. Bessembinder concluded that his results help to understand why active strategies, which tend to be poorly diversified, most often lead to underperformance. At the same time, he wrote that the results potentially justify a focus on less-diversified portfolios by investors who particularly value the possibility of “lottery-like” outcomes despite the knowledge that the poorly diversified portfolio will most likely underperform. A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO IS THE WAY TO GO The results from the studies Larry has highlighted underscore the critical role of portfolio diversification. Diversification, often referred to as the only free lunch in investing, provides a sense of security and peace of mind. Unfortunately, many investors fail to fully utilize this powerful tool. They mistakenly believe that by limiting the number of stocks they hold, they can better manage their risks. In reality, a well-diversified portfolio is the key to long-term financial success. Most professionals with PhDs in finance spend 100% of their time engaged in stock picking and have access to the world’s best databases and teams of professionals helping them. These individuals are unlikely to outperform. So why would an average investor think they have enough advantage over them? Larry’s stern advice to investors is not to play the game. His professional guidance is a beacon of reassurance in the complex world of investing, steering investors away from risky individual stocks and towards the safety of a diversified portfolio. Investors make mistakes when they take idiosyncratic (unique), diversifiable, uncompensated risks. They do so because they are overconfident in their skills, overestimate the worth of their information, confuse the familiar with the safe, have the illusion of being in control, don’t understand how many individual stocks are needed to reduce diversifiable risks effectively, and don’t understand the difference between compensated and uncompensated risks (some risks are uncompensated because they are diversifiable). Another likely explanation is that investors prefer skewness. They are willing to accept the high likelihood of underperformance in return for the small likelihood of owning the next Google. In other words, they like to buy lottery tickets. Larry says that if you have made any of these mistakes, you should do what all smart people do: Once they have learned that a behavior is a mistake, they correct it. So, steer away from risky individual stocks and go for the safety of a diversified portfolio. FURTHER READING 1.
