141: Harnessing the power of index investing, with Robin Powell
Watch this episode on YouTube or listen on the podcast player below
Since the 1950s, there has been a lot in research into the best way to invest, and the findings have been remarkably consistent. Yet very few people seem to follow the evidence.
Robin Powell is an author and award-winning journalist. As he stepped away from mainstream broadcasting, his eyes were opened up to a whole new world - passive (or index) investing.
Robin’s belief in this way of investing led him to create The Evidence Based Investor blog focused on educating us about this proven approach to investing.
He recently co-wrote ‘Invest your Way to Financial Freedom’, a short, easy to read book illustrating how investing in index funds can enable you to have the retirement that you want.
In our conversation, Robin explains what evidence based investing is and why he believes so strongly in this approach. We also have a discussion about risk and volatility and how they shape this investment philosophy.
