MiB: Meb Faber, Cambria Investments

 

 

This week, the “Masters in Business” radio podcast features Mebane Faber of Cambria Investments.

In our extended podcast, Meb explains how his investing approach has developed over time, from when he was a biotech analyst to becoming a Quant “lite.”  He describes how ETFs are developed and marketed, and we also discuss his quantitative approach to tactical asset allocation.

Meb’s recent books include The Ivy Portfolio, and Shareholder Yield: A Better Approach to Dividend Investing, and most recently, Global Value: How to Spot Bubbles, Avoid Market Crashes, and Earn Big Returns in the Stock Market.

During our rambling conversation, we touch upon behavioral economics and the misbehavior of investors, trend following, valuations, hedge funds/emerging managers, and lastly, how mathematics impacts investing.

Listen to the podcast live here, on Bloomberg, or Apple iTunes.  All of our prior podcasts are now available on iTunes.

Next week, we speak with Charlie Ellis, author of The Losers Game, and Chairman of the Yale Endowment Fund.
