00:00:09 [Barry Ritholtz] This week on the podcast, I’ve one other additional particular visitor. Andrew Lemons has just about accomplished every thing on the wealth administration facet of the enterprise, beginning at Brown Brothers Harriman earlier than occurring to Morgan Stanley, the place he began out as a consumer dealing with wealth supervisor earlier than shifting into Portfolio Supervisor and finally creating the Utilized fairness advisors workforce that makes use of a mixture of quantitative and basic and behavioral considering to create portfolios and funds which can be sturdy and may survive any form of change in investor sentiment. They take a look at geography, they take a look at cap measurement, they take a look at type, and so they take a look at sector and attempt to maintain a portfolio leaning in the direction of what’s working greatest. These are typically concentrated portfolios. The US variations are 30 to 60 holdings the place the abroad variations are simply 20 holdings. I, I discovered this dialog to be fascinating. There are a number of folks in asset administration which have seen the world of investing from each the consumer’s perspective and a consumer dealing with advisor facet to a PM after which a broader asset supervisor than Andrew has. He actually comes with a wealth of information, and he’s been with Morgan Stanley since 1991. That form of tenure at a single agency is more and more uncommon, uncommon lately. I, I discovered this dialogue to be completely fascinating and I feel additionally, you will, with no additional ado, Morgan Stanley’s, Andrew Slim.

00:02:01 [Andrew Slimmon] Thanks. It’s an honor to be right here.
00:02:02 [Barry Ritholtz] Properly, it’s a pleasure to have you ever. So let’s begin firstly along with your background. You get a BA from the College of Pennsylvania and an MBA from College of Chicago. Was finance at all times the plan?

00:02:15 [Andrew Slimmon] I feel being in a aggressive business was all of the plan. I performed tennis competitively in juniors and went on and performed in faculty and, and I at all times appreciated the, you recognize, you both received or misplaced and what I at all times appreciated about this business, it was all about, you recognize, did you win or lose? There wasn’t loads of grey space, and I feel that’s what I do love concerning the inventory market and investing basically, as a result of there’s a scorecard and you’ll’t, there’s no room on the scorecard for the editorials.

00:02:41 [Barry Ritholtz]] No, no factors for type or kind. Precisely, precisely. It’s simply did you win or lose? Precisely. So, so the place did you start? What was your first function throughout the business?

00:02:48 [Andrew Slimmon] Certain. So, nicely, my first function was opening the, the mail at a brokerage agency in Hartford, Connecticut. However I began my profession at Brown Brothers Herriman proper right here in, in New York, in a coaching program, which was nice as a result of that they had business banking, that they had capital markets, and so they had the funding administration facet of the enterprise. And that’s what getting publicity, all these led me to consider, gee, I actually am within the inventory market and the way it works and investing basically.

00:03:16 [Barry Ritholtz] So what led you to Morgan Stanley? How’d you discover your option to proper to

00:03:21 [Andrew Slimmon] Ms? So I, yeah, I used to be a analysis analyst at, at Brown Brothers, and I used to be protecting, you recognize, in healthcare shares. I, I spotted that there have to be one thing extra to investing than simply what was going on the firm degree, as a result of I seen that the issues that had been shifting my shares on a day-to-day foundation, weren’t simply what was going on the firm degree. And College of Chicago the place I went, acquired my MBA was clearly very centered on extra the quantitative areas of investing. And I took Fama and French and so forth and Miller and all people who, that taught me that what drives a inventory worth is extra than simply the, you recognize, the corporate degree. And in order that’s, that was actually the way it, it rounded my information of type of investing the primary steps after which popping out of, of enterprise faculty. It was 91 and it was a recession. And I, I, I had met my spouse in enterprise faculty and he or she acquired a job at Child or Peabody, when you keep in mind that, funding banking in Chicago. And I couldn’t discover type of a purchase facet alternative. And Morgan Stanley had a division referred to as Prior Wealth Administration that coated rich people and small establishments in Chicago. And I wanted a job and I had loads of scholar debt. So I stated, Hey, versus going the standard purchase facet route, I’ll begin on this space protecting shoppers and investing for them.

00:04:49 [Speaker Changed] So 91, type of a light recession, delicate and actually midway by what was a rampaging bull market. What was it like within the Nineteen Nineties in New York in finance?

00:05:04 [Speaker Changed] Properly, I imply, the factor that was superb is we might have shoppers within the late nineties, they might come to us and so they’d say, Andrew, I’m not grasping. I simply need 15, 20% returns a 12 months.

00:05:15 [Speaker Changed] Proper.

00:05:15 [Speaker Changed] And no danger with,

00:05:16 [Speaker Changed] With restricted danger danger, restricted danger. Proper. I knew you’re gonna go there.

00:05:19 [Speaker Changed] And, and that’s what was so fascinating about right this moment Yeah. Is right this moment folks say to me, Andrew, why would I spend money on equities once I can get 5% within the cash market? And what a distinction in a mindset, which tells you the place we’re. Within the late nineties, we had simply gone by a roaring bull market optimism was simply so rampant. And the worst 12 months within the enterprise I can keep in mind was 1999, as a result of as an investor protecting shoppers, I used to be caught between doing the proper factor for them, which was keep away from these ridiculously priced shares. Proper. Or get on the practice as a result of the cash is pouring by. After which all of it got here to an finish in 2000, 2001. And I took a step again and stated, thank God I by no means, you recognize, I I I simply didn’t purchase in the way in which some folks did, and due to this fact save folks some huge cash. It was a tremendously good studying expertise for me to remain true to your values of investing. In the end, they work out. You,
00:06:16 [Speaker Changed] You might be figuring out one thing that I, I’m so fascinated by. The issue we run into with surveys and even the danger tolerance questionnaires is all you discover out is, Hey, what has the market accomplished for the previous six months? If the market’s been good, Hey, each I, in fact I need extra danger. I’m, I’m, I’m greater than comfy with it. And if the market acquired shellacked, no, no, no. I, I can’t, I can’t endure any extra drawdowns. It’s simply pure psychology.
00:06:42 [Speaker Changed] And, and I might go one step additional. You realize this, you’re within the enterprise, however once you first meet somebody, you by no means know those which can be going to be actually danger averse or actually can face up to the volatility. And ones that may, some folks say, don’t fear, I’m not anxious concerning the drawdowns. And the minute it occurs, they’re on the cellphone to you. And a few folks, I informed you I wasn’t anxious and I didn’t name you. Proper. And you’ll by no means know. Simply the primary time you meet individuals who that’s going to be it, it’s

00:07:08 [Speaker Changed] A problem determining who folks actually are. Not, not simple. So that you began Morgan Stanley in 1991. You’re in that, that’s a very long time in the past. Yeah. You begin on the non-public wealth facet. What led you to changing into a portfolio supervisor with Morgan Stanley Wealth technique?
00:07:24 [Speaker Changed] So if you concentrate on my profession, I discovered to be a basic analyst. I went to College of Chicago and discovered that, oh, there’s quantitative elements that drive a inventory worth past type of what’s occurring on the firm degree. The third a part of my expertise was being in prior wealth administration, shoppers wanna consider all of them purchase low and promote excessive, however bear, you recognize, that doesn’t, isn’t the case.
00:07:45 [Speaker Changed] Any individual does by accident somebody randomly high ticks and backside ticks to market. However no person does that constantly.
00:07:51 [Speaker Changed] Precisely. And right here’s an amazing instance of what, I imply, if you concentrate on the years 2020, in 2021, progress shares took off. Proper? However in 2022 they acquired crushed. Do you suppose more cash went into progress managers and funds in 2021 or the top of 2022 after they acquired crushed?
00:08:10 [Speaker Changed] The flows are at all times a 12 months behind the place the market is. Precisely 00:08:13 [Speaker Changed] Proper. So, so what I Individuals
00:08:15 [Speaker Changed] Are backwards wanting.
00:08:16 [Speaker Changed] What? Properly, and that’s as a result of there’s one thing referred to as the tear sheet. In case you had been my consumer, I went to you and stated, Barry, I feel you must spend money on rising markets as a result of look how terribly it’s accomplished within the final 5 years. And I are you able to the tear sheet, you’re gonna go away.
00:08:28 [Speaker Changed] Everyone hates it,
00:08:29 [Speaker Changed] Proper? Hate it. So the issue with this enterprise is a inventory worth doesn’t care what occurred prior to now. It solely cares about what’s occurred sooner or later. However as people, all of us endure from recency buys. So what I noticed within the nineties, it’s a long-winded reply. Your query isn’t any, it’s
00:08:45 [Speaker Changed] An
00:08:46 [Speaker Changed] Fascinating, what I noticed within the nineties as a protection supply, you possibly can’t get shoppers to truly purchase what’s out of favor. Proper. And the flaw in the entire progress worth us worldwide is folks body, oh, possibly I can purchase extra progress as a result of it’s working nicely, besides it will get too costly. So the explanation I left being in wealth administration, I used to be satisfied that I might begin methods utilizing extra quantitative, however give us flexibility. So if we might begin core methods in order that if progress acquired too costly, we might tilt away from progress, or if Europe wasn’t working, we might tilt away from Europe. That gave us extra flexibility as an lively supervisor versus saying, I’m solely a progress supervisor. After which I’m at all times making an attempt to justify why you can purchase progress. Or if I’m a price supervisor, all at all times justifying why I purchase worth. Keep in mind, by 1999, a half of worth managers had gone outta enterprise within the final three years that simply earlier than they took off. That’s
00:09:48 [Speaker Changed] Unbelievable. I, I do know people who run brief hedge funds and so they say they may at all times inform once we’re due for a significant correction. ’trigger that’s when all of their redemptions and outflows it, it’s hit, hit a crescendo.

00:10:01 [Speaker Changed] And in order that’s the issue with the devoted type is you’re at all times combating human conduct simply on the juncture with which you need to be investing. They’re promoting, they’re promoting their shares. So,
00:10:14 [Speaker Changed] So let me ask you the flip facet of the query. In case you can’t get folks, or if it’s actually difficult to make folks comfy with shopping for outta favor kinds or corporations, are you able to get them to promote the businesses which can be in favor and have had, you recognize, an exorbitant runup and are actually expensive? Or, or is that simply the opposite facet of the identical coin? It’s
00:10:36 [Speaker Changed] The opposite facet of the identical coin, however, however I feel what complicates, is it taxes? Certain. As a result of folks don’t wish to promote for taxes. And Basic Electrical was an important expertise in my life in a, you recognize, again within the nineties, which was, it grew to become the primary inventory. Everybody cherished it. And, after which, you recognize, it went by a can’t develop as rapidly anymore. So the difficulty that I see within the business is shares by no means survive because the the primary firm. And so finally they, they do not want and folks don’t wish to take cash off the desk once they’re the primary or tops as a result of they’ve huge features. After which in the end folks bought loads of Basic Electrical with lots much less of a acquire. So the trick is, is to scale back the exposures over time. So with, if I’m a core supervisor and I do know that progress is dear relative to its historical past versus worth, we’ll tilt the portfolio. However we received’t go all into worth, all into progress as a result of timing these items could be very, very difficult.
00:11:42 [Speaker Changed] So that you’ve been with Morgan Stanley since 19 91, 3 many years with the identical agency. Fairly uncommon lately. What makes the agency so particular? What’s saved you there for all this time?
00:11:54 [Speaker Changed] Properly, it’s a must to keep in mind that once I began in 9 19 91, wealth administration was a, was a comparatively small a part of the, of the agency. And I give James Gorman super credit score. He actually grew that space due to the steadiness of the money circulate. I ge I’m a fairly secure money circulate. After which once I progressed to and Morgan Stanley funding administration, it was the identical idea, which was we worth the a number of on secure money flows is greater than on capital market flows. And in order that’s, I’ve type of adopted the development of how Morgan Stanley’s modified and that’s been an amazing alternative. After which I look and say, nicely, I used to be capable of go from wealth administration into the asset administration as a result of the agency grew in that period. So it’s a, it’s been a tremendously nice agency to be with, however I’ve, you recognize, my profession has modified over time as a agency’s modified over time. Certain.
00:12:47 [Speaker Changed] I, I had John Mack on a couple of 12 months in the past and he described that very same factor, the attraction of, of wealth administration. And a part of the explanation, what was it, Dean Witter, the large acquisition that was accomplished was, hey, this permits us to endure the ups and downs within the different facet of the enterprise, which has potential for nice rewards however no stability. Proper. Versus prepared, regular, reasonable features from From the wealth administration
00:13:12 [Speaker Changed] Aspect. Precisely. We purchased Smith Barney, so on the wealth handle, that was one other huge one. Proper. So then over the asset administration facet, there’s Eaton Vance E-Commerce Wealth Administration and with Eaton Vance got here Parametric and Calvert. So the agency has grown within the areas that I’ve grown personally. So it’s been an amazing, nice marriage for a very long time.
00:13:30 [Speaker Changed] So your expertise with Basic Electrical? I had the same expertise with EMC and with Cisco late nineties making an attempt to get folks to acknowledge, hey, this has been a improbable run, however

the expansion engine isn’t there. The development has been damaged. Don’t be afraid to ring the bell. And I’m not an lively dealer. Yeah. I’m a long-term holder. Getting folks to promote their winners just isn’t simple
00:13:54 [Speaker Changed] To do, could be very, very onerous. However, but in addition when shares get very, very huge, corporations get very, very huge. It simply will get more durable to develop. In my expertise, and this has nothing to do, GE simply basically is when corporations get huge, often the federal government begins wanting into their enterprise ’trigger they may dominate an excessive amount of. And so it’s a mixture of why over time, and I do know that is onerous to consider given the final couple years, why the equal weighted s and p does really outperform the cap weighted s and p as a result of corporations, mid-cap corporations which can be shifting up, it’s simpler to develop. That
00:14:30 [Speaker Changed] Hasn’t, what has it been 25 years because the Microsoft antitrust 00:14:34 [Speaker Changed] Boy? And that’s, that’s
00:14:35 [Speaker Changed] That’s that’s superb. How typically are equal weight s and p outperforming cap
00:14:40 [Speaker Changed] Weighted? It outperforms about half the time. It definitely had, I imply take into consideration final 12 months and thru October, the cap weighted had outperformed the equated by 1100 base factors.
00:14:50 [Speaker Changed] Wow. That’s lots.
00:14:51 [Speaker Changed] However the factor that’s fascinating about this, Barry, and, and once more, you recognize that is that it’s at all times the primary 12 months off of bear market, low traders promote. So retail flows had been adverse from the low of October 22 till for a 12 months. And that’s till
00:15:06 [Speaker Changed] November 23. Precisely.
00:15:08 [Speaker Changed] However when you return to 2020, March of 2020 flows had been adverse till February of 21. So it at all times takes a couple of 12 months,
00:15:17 [Speaker Changed] February of 20. That’s superb. ’trigger from the lows in March %, it was an enormous set
00:15:22 [Speaker Changed] Of features and internet flows from mutual funds. ETFs had been internet they’re at all times adverse the primary 12 months due to that rear view mirror recency bias. The rationale why that’s related, Barry, is as a result of when traders lastly stated, I can’t, I shouldn’t promote anymore, I can purchase, they’re not gonna purchase what’s already labored. They’re on the lookout for different issues. And that’s when the equated actually began out earlier than. Huh,
00:15:42 [Speaker Changed] Actually attention-grabbing. So let’s discuss just a little bit about your idea of utilized investing. What does that imply? What, what does utilized investing contain?
00:15:53 [Speaker Changed] Okay, so there’s the theoretical story about it after which there’s the sensible story. And I’m certain you’ll get a kick out of the sensible, however the theoretical is that I don’t consider {that a} inventory worth return comes purely from what’s occurring. Essentially, it’s a must to determine ought to I personal progress worth, massive cap, mid cap us versus non-US any shares return about two thirds of return in anyone 12 months will be outlined by these. So we’ve to get that proper first. And that’s the quantitative measurement. So

we use issue fashions to say, Hey, ought to we personal progress shares or worth shares? And so we tilt our portfolios quantitatively based mostly on which of these elements are sending a sign that they’ll work sooner or later.
00:16:36 [Speaker Changed] So, so let me simply ensure I perceive this. Geography measurement, sector and elegance type are the 4 metrics precisely you’re taking a look at and making an attempt to tilt accordingly into what you anticipate to be working and away from.
00:16:50 [Speaker Changed] Precisely. And the objective of that’s to maintain folks within the recreation flip facet is, you recognize, issues are out of favor. They’ll keep out of favor. The issue on this enterprise is kinds and investing can keep out of favor longer than the consumer’s affected person’s period.
00:17:06 [Speaker Changed] Ju simply take a look at worth within the 2010s, proper? I imply if you weren’t leaning into progress, you had been left means behind.
00:17:13 [Speaker Changed] Precisely. And what I noticed from my time being advisor is on the finish of the day, shoppers don’t actually care whether or not they personal progress or worth. They don’t care whether or not they personal European US, they wish to generate income and so they don’t need ’em go backwards. And if all you retain saying is sure, however you recognize, my worth supervisor has outperformed the worth index. They usually’re like, yeah, however the s and p goes by the roof. Proper? So it’s a must to have some flexibility in your method. So I needed to start out a bunch that on the core would use these quantitative metrics, however pure quantitative takes out type of the basics of investing as a result of a sure portion of a inventory’s return comes from what’s going on the firm degree. And the opposite factor is, if all I did was give attention to the quantitative, you’d find yourself proudly owning 300 securities. So
00:18:01 [Speaker Changed] Let’s, let’s
00:18:02 [Speaker Changed] Discuss SA and an SMA can’t do this otherwise you don’t drive sufficient lively share.
00:18:07 [Speaker Changed] MA is individually managed, managed, managed account account. Let, let’s speak about lively share as a result of your portfolios are pretty concentrated. The US core portfolio is 30 to 60 corporations. That’s thought of a modest holding, a concentrated holding. Inform us concerning the considering behind that focus.
00:18:28 [Speaker Changed] So it’s humorous, going again to that first job at Brown Brothers, you recognize, at, within the time within the eighties, nobody knew about passive investing. However I noticed that, you recognize, they’d have these portfolios and so they’d have type of two or three shares in each sector. So that you’d find yourself with, you recognize, 100 or 150 shares and you recognize, they, it, not that they did poorly, however they by no means actually, you recognize, it was actually onerous to drive loads of lively, you recognize, efficiency.
00:18:51 [Speaker Changed] Every little thing is one 2%.
00:18:52 [Speaker Changed] And on the time it wasn’t actually, there wasn’t actually passive investing. However then as, as time progressed, all these research got here out and stated, nicely really essentially the most extra return in lively administration comes from managers which can be very, very lively. Proper? And when you personal 100, 150 shares and also you’re the benchmark is the s and p, you’re not lively. So it was clear to me that we wanted very concentrated portfolios however management the danger. And in order that’s why we run these restricted portfolios. The utilized time period is, so it gave some quantitative method to what we do. However right here’s the

sensible Barry, which is when the agency got here to me and stated, okay, you’re gonna grow to be an asset administration arm, you gotta provide you with a reputation in your workforce. I knew that these companies present asset administration corporations alphabetically.
00:19:44 [Speaker Changed] So utilized investing proper
00:19:45 [Speaker Changed] There, I wasn’t gonna be Z utilized. 00:19:48 [Speaker Changed] Proper.
00:19:49 [Speaker Changed] I needed to be on the high of
00:19:50 [Speaker Changed] The record. That’s very, that’s AAA exterminator at all times the primary one. Precisely. To tug within the cellphone guide. So let’s speak about two belongings you simply talked about. One is lively share, however actually what you’re implying are that loads of these different funds with 200, 300 or extra holdings, they’re all excessive price closet indexers. What’s the worth
00:20:10 [Speaker Changed] There? Proper. And that’s why as an lively supervisor, I’ve nothing in opposition to ETFs. I feel it’s accomplished nice for the business as a result of disgrace on funds that personal tons and plenty of securities. You’re not doing a service to your investing. However on the finish of the day, if I marginally underperform, not me, however basically, you recognize, it should take time to lose your belongings. You realize what’s proper for the cash administration agency just isn’t at all times what’s proper for the, so the proper factor is select passive methods, however there’s a spot for lively picture, nevertheless it’s gotta be lively
00:20:42 [Speaker Changed] Core and satellite tv for pc. Precisely. You’ve gotten a core of a passive index, however you’re surrounding it bingo with one thing that provides you just a little alternative for extra upside. Precisely. Huh. Actually, actually attention-grabbing. So if the US holdings are 30 to 60 corporations, the worldwide portfolio is much more concentrated about 20 corporations?
00:21:00 [Speaker Changed] Yeah, I imply, so, so taking a step again once more, one of many, you recognize, keep in mind I run mutual funds, however I begin within the separate managed account enterprise. So what it, what means is they might wealth handle would implement our portfolio for people by shopping for inventory. And one of many issues that I noticed is that shoppers pull from the market sooner than they pull from shares. So in different phrases, once you’re anxious concerning the market, if it’s concerning the market, some macro story, nicely do you wanna promote your Microsoft? Oh no, I like Microsoft, however I’m anxious concerning the market. Okay, nicely proudly owning particular person securities is basically highly effective as a result of it really retains folks invested.
00:21:46 [Speaker Changed] There’s a model title there that they relate to a
00:21:49 [Speaker Changed] Model. Precisely. So individuals are extra more likely to pull from the market. So I consider in proudly owning shares, however the issue is, once more, it goes again to, however when you personal 200 shares and so they don’t have any wedded, so might we begin a method? We began this oh eight the place all of the securities could be on one web page.
00:22:04 [Speaker Changed] That’s superb. So your world portfolio additionally has some worldwide US corporations. So along with issues like LVMH and another worldwide shares, you may have Microsoft, you may have Costco. Appropriate. What’s the considering of placing these big US corporations in a worldwide portfolio?
00:22:21 [Speaker Changed] It goes again to Barry, that idea, which is shoppers don’t care actually the place they make their cash. And the issue with the, the advantage of world, a worldwide methods, I can personal

some US shares and a world solely I can’t personal. And what occurs if the US simply so occurs to do higher than the remainder of the world, then worldwide doesn’t work as nicely. So it simply offers us extra flex. It’s that versatile flexibility to go the place the chance set is.
00:22:51 [Speaker Changed] And to that time, your fund, the Morgan Stanley institutional world concentrated fund, which does have US inventory trounce, the, the MSEI precisely X us, as a result of the US has been outperforming worldwide. That’s one other type for 15. Because the monetary disaster, the US has been crushing completely everybody else.
00:23:14 [Speaker Changed] However take into consideration this manner additionally, if I can personal 20 shares, okay, however they’re not all correlated to one another, proper? In order that they’re, they’ve loads of completely different themes. Like I actually like this, the, the, the infrastructure shares proper now. However I additionally suppose there’s a spot, as you stated, Microsoft, however luxurious manufacturers only some shares, however have a distinct theme. Then I can management the danger within the portfolio. You,
00:23:38 [Speaker Changed] You’re diversified excessive act to share, however concentrated 00:23:41 [Speaker Changed] Excessive act to share, however decrease type of danger.
00:23:44 [Speaker Changed] So once I take a look at the Morgan Stanley institutional US core, the outline is we search to outperform the benchmark no matter which funding type, worth, or progress is at present in favor. So your type agnostic, you wish to simply stick with what’s working.
00:24:02 [Speaker Changed] Precisely. And Philip Kim is the opposite portfolio supervisor. We’ve labored collectively 14 years. I began these quantitative fashions after which he actually took it to the following degree. And this was what has the probability of outperforming for the following 12 to 18 months from a method standpoint. That’s how we bias the portfolio. Issues might get simply too costly, issues get too low cost, however we have to see some migration in the wrong way after which we purchase us accordingly. We wish to keep within the recreation.
00:24:29 [Speaker Changed] What concerning the Russell 3000 technique? That’s not, it’s clearly extra concentrated than the Russell, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a number of hundred shares. Inform us what goes into that factor. Properly
00:24:39 [Speaker Changed] We seen that our, simply our quantitative issue mannequin alone was doing nicely proper past simply including the inventory to purchase. So we needed to start out a method that might add just a little little bit of extra return versus simply shopping for an ETF that was simply centered on that issue fashions. However we might diversify away the inventory danger.
00:25:01 [Speaker Changed] Actually intriguing. So let’s discuss just a little bit about Slimmons take, which isn’t solely extensively learn at Morgan Stanley, it’s additionally fairly extensively distributed on the road itself. In direction of the top of 2023, you place out a chunk, a number of classes from the 12 months, and I I assumed a few of these had been actually fascinating. Beginning with the s and p 500 has produced a constructive return in 67 of the previous 93 years, the market produced two consecutive down years, solely 11 instances. That’s superb. I had no thought.
00:25:35 [Speaker Changed] Properly, I imply, give it some thought. The, the, the probability over time in anyone 12 months, the market’s going to go up and if it, if it doesn’t go up, that’s irregular. However then to have one other 12 months in a row could be very, very irregular. In order that’s, that’s why I started 2023 saying, Hey, it’s, it’s extremely probably it’s gonna be a great 12 months simply purely based mostly on, based mostly on the percentages. And then you definately layer in that entire recency bias rear view mirror and folks had been means too adverse.

00:26:02 [Speaker Changed] Yeah. On the finish of 2022, the s and p peak to Trth was down about 25%. You level on the market had been solely eight cases since 1960 the place you had that degree of drawdown and the common one 12 months return was 22% following that.
00:26:21 [Speaker Changed] So I’ve put out a chunk in September of 2022 saying, market’s down 20%, you must add cash down 20%. And naturally I felt like an fool, you recognize, a month later as a result of, after which the market was down 25%. And I produce a chunk saying the common return is simply over 20% when you purchase into down 25%, which doesn’t essentially imply it stops taking place. Proper? However what’s superb about that’s, you recognize what, the return off that October twenty second low of 2022 was
00:26:49 [Speaker Changed] 30 one thing. 00:26:50 [Speaker Changed] No, 21%. Oh 00:26:52 [Speaker Changed] Actually? Lifeless on
00:26:53 [Speaker Changed] Proper. Lifeless on in line. It’s uncanny how these items repeat itself. And that’s Barry once more, it goes again to, you recognize, your expertise, my expertise is the macro adjustments, however behaviors don’t. Proper. That’s the consistency of this enterprise and that’s what I’m fascinated
00:27:08 [Speaker Changed] With. Human nature is perpetual. It’s, it’s, it’s Proper. No, little doubt about it.
00:27:11 [Speaker Changed] And that’s what gave me assured that the enjoyable flows would flip constructive sooner or later within the fourth quarter as a result of it was a 12 months off the low.
00:27:18 [Speaker Changed] I actually like that. Be doubtful when a inventory is asserted costly or low cost based mostly on a singular valuation methodology like pe this can be a pet peeve of mine. The e is an estimate at somebody’s opinion. How are you going to depend on one thing, particularly from somebody who doesn’t have an amazing observe file of creating
00:27:39 [Speaker Changed] This forecast. It’s the, I feel that’s the most important error traders make over time is, nicely this inventory is, you recognize, as you stated, this inventory is affordable or this market, take into consideration Europe. Mar Europe has regarded cheaper than the US for quite a few years. The flaw in that’s the e is a ahead estimate. And it’s turned out that the E for Europe hasn’t been pretty much as good as what’s anticipated. And the E for the US particularly the Nasdaq, has been lots greater than was anticipated. So the denominator has come up within the us which makes a PE decrease and the denominator come down you, which made it look costlier.
00:28:18 [Speaker Changed] In order that, that’s at all times superb is that if the estimates are are incorrect to the draw back, nicely then costly shares aren’t that costly and vice versa. Precisely. If the estimates are too excessive, low cost shares actually ain’t low cost. Proper.
00:28:31 [Speaker Changed] I watched that. However we additionally watched revisions and I’ve discovered, discovered additionally from being, you recognize, cynically on this enterprise. Firms don’t at all times come clear immediately and say, oh, our enterprise actually dangerous. It’s the, they drip out the information, proper? Often one dangerous quota follows one other dangerous quote. I imply it’s very uncommon. So watch out that, and analysts are sluggish to regulate their numbers. Anytime somebody says, I’m reducing my estimates, reducing my worth goal. However I feel it’s bottomed,
00:29:00 [Speaker Changed] Proper?

00:29:00 [Speaker Changed] Yeah. Watch out.
00:29:02 [Speaker Changed] Yeah. To that’s at all times, at all times amusing. I assumed this was actually very perceptive. Over 37 years within the funding enterprise, I’ve grow to be satisfied that essentially the most cash is made when perceptions transfer from very dangerous to much less dangerous. I really like that as a result of when you’ve lived by the.com implosion or the monetary disaster and even the primary quarter of 2020, you understand how true that’s.
00:29:26 [Speaker Changed] Take into consideration final 12 months, you recognize, it’s the outdated saying by Sir John Templeton bull markets are born on pessimism. They develop in skepticism, they mature on optimism and so they die on euphoric. Properly, we had a bear market backside in October of 2022. And so we got here into final 12 months, 2023 with, it’s gonna be a tough touchdown, it’s gonna be dangerous. And so there’s excessive ranges of pessimism. And now as you advance into the fourth quarter fund flows turned constructive as folks notice, nicely possibly it wasn’t gonna be so dangerous. We’ve moved into the skepticism section. In order that’s why the most important return 12 months is at all times the primary 12 months off the low as a result of that’s the most important pivot and it has the least volatility. We didn’t have loads of volatility final 12 months
00:30:16 [Speaker Changed] And, and we noticed that in oh 8, 0 9 and we noticed that in 2020. 2020. It was actually, it was actually fairly superb. The flip facet of that is additionally true, which is most cash is misplaced when issues transfer from nice to only good.
00:30:33 [Speaker Changed] Properly, once more, if I am going again to type of progress investing, it acquired costly and the expansion charges of corporations wasn’t fairly pretty much as good and you recognize, in 2022 and the Fed began elevating charges and that was problematic. It was no completely different. It jogged my memory just a little little bit of the.com bubble. What introduced down the.com bubble is that corporations simply couldn’t report the earnings that had been anticipated. And also you had loads of time to get out. However the issue is, what I noticed within the.com bubble, folks needed to saved shopping for these shares as they’re going decrease as a result of they had been, you recognize, rear view mirror investing. They had been the earlier the the loves. And what’s superb is consider, I stated earlier than half the worth managers went outta enterprise in 99 by the 12 months 2008. Are you aware what the most important sector of the s and p was? Financials they grew from nothing to 30% of the SP. So worth labored all by the primary interval till we all know what occurred in nice monetary disaster. It
00:31:27 [Speaker Changed] It, it’s superb that muscle reminiscence once you’re rewarded for purchasing the dip for a decade, it’s a tricky behavior to interrupt. Precisely. Precisely. So, so right here’s one other actually attention-grabbing statement of yours. Regardless of the sizzling product isn’t works the following 12 months.
00:31:43 [Speaker Changed] It’s as a result of a sizzling product invariably pushes oftentimes valuations to excessive. And one of many issues that we acquired very proper in 2023 was in 2022 Bear Market, what did folks purchase into the lows of Bear Market? They purchased defensive shares, dividend oriented, low volatility kind methods grew to become very fashionable in 2022 throughout a bear market. And so we might see that the defensive issue, security grew to become very costly. In order we got here out of this bear market, what lagged shopper staples, healthcare, utilities, all of the protected issues. So sizzling merchandise pushes issues to excessive and that often, you recognize, unwinds itself badly
00:32:34 [Speaker Changed] Traditionally, as soon as the fed stops mountaineering charges, fairness rallies last more and go greater than anybody expects. Clarify the considering
00:32:43 [Speaker Changed] Then. So I feel it’s excellent news for this 12 months, but in addition worries me about this 12 months is when you take a look at the historical past of the time frame when the Fed stated we’re accomplished mountaineering until we’re

going to chop that interval does very, very nicely for equities. And we’re type of at a, a juncture the place it, we’ve accomplished fairly nicely. But when they’re not gonna lower charges till the summer time, I feel there’s extra room to run for shares. Now the flip facet is, I hear lots of people speak about when the Fed cuts the notion that that’s gonna be good for equities. I’m not so certain about that as a result of when you look again in historical past, when the Fed cuts markets are inclined to go down initially not up. And you may argue sure, however Andrew, that’s as a result of often once they’re elevating charges it’s an financial cycle, proper? And due to this fact in the event that they’re reducing, there’s an issue. And this time it was all about inflation. However what worries me is when the Fed does announce they’ll lower will folks say, oh, they know one thing you don’t know. There’s an issue on the market. And I feel there’s an that can improve the anxiousness. And so I feel that’s, we’re in a great interval proper now, nevertheless it worries me once they do lower, will or not it’s folks begin to fear about, there’s some, there’s an issue within the financial system.
00:33:59 [Speaker Changed] See I I I’m a scholar of federal reserve historical past and I I might say with a excessive diploma of confidence, they don’t know something that you just don’t know. They, they take a look at the identical knowledge, they’re populated by people, none of whom have demonstrated any explicit form of prescient. And if we watched the previous decade, they had been late to get off their emergency footing. They had been late to acknowledge inflation, they had been late to acknowledge inflation peaked. And now it appears like they’re late to acknowledge, hey, you guys received, you beat inflation. Precisely. Take a victory lap. Proper? They, they appear to at all times be speak about backwards wanting. They at all times appear to be behind the curve. Proper.
00:34:38 [Speaker Changed] However I simply suppose the inventory market is an emotional beast. Certain. And you recognize, and I look final 12 months and the Bears folks had been too pessimistic each time they pop their head out of the den, they acquired stampeded. And they also’ll have a greater 12 months this 12 months and I feel it should scare traders and cynically, I can’t assist however suppose, nicely folks missed most, lots of people missed final 12 months and now they’re beginning to get again in and after a really low volatility 12 months, there’s at all times extra volatility the following 12 months. And so it’s inevitable it’s gonna be extra, it doesn’t imply it’ll be a foul 12 months for equities, it simply can have extra intestine wrenching intervals.
00:35:10 [Speaker Changed] I really like this knowledge level since 1940, markets have at all times gone up within the 12 months when an incumbent president runs for reelection 17 for 17. Now if we break that down, what you’re actually saying is, hey, if an incumbent isn’t operating, the financial system actually must be within the stinker roo and the inventory market is following. However anytime an incumbent is operating sometimes means we’re we’re doing fairly okay. Properly
00:35:37 [Speaker Changed] And keep in mind I stated didn’t get reelected, simply ran for reelection. Proper. And so what occurs, and I see it this 12 months, is when presidents run for reelection, they wish to juice the financial system, they need the financial system going nicely, proper? And we’ve, Joe Biden has in his pocket the Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Discount Act. We personal, the explanation why we personal industrial shares is as a result of they’re telling us that the cash is simply beginning to are available in from the federal government. And these tasks are getting simply getting off means. We’ve seen this with the chips act, the cash is simply began poor. Proper. That’s why the market tends to do nicely as a result of the financial system stays afloat throughout a reelection 12 months. And
00:36:20 [Speaker Changed] And the actually attention-grabbing factor about all this, you recognize, it’s humorous, the 2020s is the last decade of fiscal stimulus, whereas the 2010s had been financial stimulus, the primary three cares acts. That was a, only a boatload of cash that hit the market, hit the financial system suddenly. Every of the

laws packages you talked about, that’s spending over a decade, that might be a fairly first rate tailwind for some time.
00:36:43 [Speaker Changed] Very attention-grabbing between hearken to Wall Road and what you hearken to corporations. And so I’m an organization man. I hearken to corporations and I’ll offer you an amazing instance. Proper now folks suppose the patron is getting tapped out, however on the Costco name the opposite day, they are saying they see huge ticket buy objects. Reaccelerating, nicely wait a minute, I assumed the patron nicely, which is it? Which is it? Proper. And you recognize, and so the the purpose of that is, is that I am going again to hearken to what corporations say. And I think as meals inflation begins to return down and folks have jobs, they really might begin to go purchase, you recognize, greater ticket purchases. So,
00:37:15 [Speaker Changed] And we’ve seen some uptick in bank card use, nevertheless it nothing problematic with the power to service that debt nonetheless appears to be very a lot intact. Appropriate.
00:37:24 [Speaker Changed] And that goes again to final 12 months, one of many causes I, the opposite motive I used to be optimistic is I saved listening to our corporations say to me, I’m being informed the recessions across the nook, however our enterprise appears to be doing nicely. We don’t see it. Proper. We
00:37:34 [Speaker Changed] Don’t see it. That’s actually superb. So, so let’s discuss just a little bit about who your shoppers are. You clearly are working with all of the advisors at Morgan Stanley, however you’re managing mutual funds. Who, who’re the patrons of, of these funds? Are they in-house? Are they the remainder of the investing group? Who, who, who’re your shoppers?
00:37:53 [Speaker Changed] Yeah, I imply, in order that’s when, once I left being advisor in 2004, I began this group inside Morgan Stanley. Wealth administration with the merchandise had been solely out there to monetary advisors at Morgan Ceiling. However once I left to enter Morgan Ceiling funding administration in 2014, the aim of that was to make my merchandise out there past Morgan Ceiling wealth administration as a result of I used to be getting calls from consultants and institutional traders saying, how can we get entry to those funds? And I’d must say, nicely it’s a must to undergo an advisor. So, in order that, I needed to broaden out the attain past. So I might say we’re on quite a few platforms, you should buy our funds by the self-directed route. And so we’re broadening out the, the distribution. And also you talked about the slim and take earlier than. That may be a, a strategy that we use to succeed in out to our investor base.
00:38:49 Clearly I’d love to speak to every of each certainly one of ’em, however I can’t. However I’ve discovered on this enterprise, when you talk in a means that they will perceive, and I don’t imply perceive in, you recognize, in, in a foul means. Like, however writing a six web page diatribe about why my shares are so nice and why the remainder of the market stinks. Nobody’s gonna learn that. They put it apart and say, I’ll learn it tonight, then they don’t. However when you can present brief bullets of what’s occurring out there, why folks must be bullish or bearish, you present them with speaking factors. And that’s what we actually attempt to do throughout the agency, however past the agency as nicely.
00:39:24 [Speaker Changed] Yeah. I I, one of many causes I like lemon’s take is you actually boil issues right down to brass tack. You’re not afraid to make use of third events in a few of your opponents analysis. You, you cite different folks on the road once they have an attention-grabbing knowledge level or, or, and and I very a lot respect that. ’trigger lots of people form of take the, if it wasn’t invented right here, it doesn’t exist to us.

00:39:51 [Speaker Changed] Yeah. I imply look, I’m, I’m, I wish to develop the belongings. I wish to carry out nicely, however I worth the responses from the those that sit on the entrance traces coping with shoppers daily as a result of they’re those that really feel type of the emotional facet of the enterprise. Certain. In case you sit again in, you recognize, my workplace and all, I’m taking a look at an organization and simply evaluating whether or not it’s PE is suitable and earnings, you’re lacking an enormous a part of this enterprise. It’s a behavioral enterprise. And so gaining access to advisors and listening to their suggestions is so vital.
00:40:27 [Speaker Changed] So that you serve on Morgan Stanley’s Wealth Administration’s World Funding Committee. What’s that have like? I might think about that’s an enormous quantity of capital and an amazing duty. It
00:40:39 [Speaker Changed] Is a big quantity of capital and it drives type of asset out steered asset allocation for advisors. They don’t essentially must pursue it that means. My enter is clearly on the fairness facet, however they’ve folks within the, on the re the mounted earnings, excessive yield alternate options. They usually all present inputs into framing and overview. So I’m actually, I sit in Morgan Stanley funding administration, however I do present that context and I feel they wish to have me on ’trigger I even have pores and skin within the recreation and I run cash for a, a dwelling and I’m not at all times there saying you gotta purchase progress otherwise you gotta purchase worth. So I’m of agnostic. I’m simply making an attempt to determine the place the type of the ball’s going. Do.
00:41:20 [Speaker Changed] So within the outdated days you used to talk with retail traders on a regular basis, a as a pm Do you miss that backwards and forwards as a result of there’s some sign in all of that noise, whether or not it’s concern or greed or Certain. Emotion. How, how do you, how do you use being arm’s size away from that?
00:41:41 [Speaker Changed] I, that could be a huge concern I’ve is dropping that entry. So I nonetheless, I’m going to, I’m talking in an occasion tonight with a, you recognize, a room filled with advisors. So, after which, you recognize, we’re, we’ll, we’ll get collectively afterwards and I’ll hearken to what they must say. So I’m at all times keen on suggestions that I get from advisors. Clearly I can’t spend all day speaking on the cellphone. That’s the large motive why I left being an advisor was I acknowledge, hey, being an advisor, you gotta discuss to your shoppers so forth. You possibly can’t handle cash and fear about each quarter can each. You possibly can’t do each. And anybody that thinks you possibly can, I, you recognize, it’s, it’s loopy and I actually wanna develop these fashions, however I I, so, so all these communication methods, like slim and Take is a option to be in contact with advisors, encourage them, Hey, you suppose you, you disagree, ship me an e-mail. You realize, I’m comfortable to, comfortable to listen to from you as a result of I feel that’s crucial. Huh. Actually,
00:42:35 [Speaker Changed] Actually
00:42:36 [Speaker Changed] Fascinating. I actually, behavioral finance, you recognize, the, the longer I’ve been on this enterprise, I’ve been on this enterprise a very long time. It’s the behavioral finance that’s the consistency of this enterprise. Geopolitics adjustments, proper? However how folks react is, just isn’t, doesn’t
00:42:52 [Speaker Changed] Actually change. Proper. You, you, you possibly can’t ch management what nation is invading what different nation. However you possibly can handle your individual conduct. Precisely. And other people have a tough time with that. Precisely. It’s actually attention-grabbing. I, I do know solely have you ever for one more 5 minutes, so let me leap to my favourite questions. I ask all of my company beginning with what have you ever been screaming lately? Inform us what’s been both audio or video, what’s been preserving you entertained?
00:43:15 [Speaker Changed] Yeah, I, so if I take into consideration my profession, nobody took me apart and stated, that is the way you handle cash, proper? Like, give it some thought. I discovered about basic analysis, I study

quantitative, I be taught concerning the practicality of being in wealth administration. And so I’ve at all times researched and watch and what does that acquired to do along with your query is I’ve discovered my option to being profitable portfolio managers. So I’m obsessive about type of at all times studying alongside the way in which. So I, you recognize, once I watch podcasts it’s at all times about, whoa. Or, or, or hearken to podcasts or watch, you recognize, issues. It’s, it’s at all times the right way to advance my information base. Now I did play tennis, you recognize, in faculty and so I really like all these, you recognize, break level, first tee, you recognize, the Components one. I really like all these issues. However, however you recognize, as my spouse will get pissed off with me, ’trigger I’m in all probability gonna not gonna sit down and watch a 3 hour senseless film as a result of it’s type of like not, not advancing.
00:44:13 [Speaker Changed] Huh. Actually, actually attention-grabbing. Inform, inform us about your mentors who helped to form your profession.
00:44:19 [Speaker Changed] So I imply, once more, I take a look at factors alongside the way in which had been invaluable After I acquired to Morgan Stanley, Byron Ween, who, you recognize, I barely knew, however he was the primary individual that I acknowledged had this superb contact of fundamentals, but in addition the psychology, proper? And so he was an amazing mentor regardless that he by no means actually knew me, however listening and studying and understanding him was actually vital. However then I had a man who ran our division named Glenn Regan, who had come from learning cash administration organizations and I didn’t know the right way to begin a cash administration group ’trigger it was a workforce inside and the way do you develop and diversify. So there’s been completely different folks alongside the way in which which have actually formed me. I got here outta College of Chicago, gene Fama informed me purchase low cost shares, however then William O’Neill stated, yeah, however that doesn’t work and it’s good to have some momentum to, you recognize, like, he didn’t inform me that you just
00:45:14 [Speaker Changed] Want just a little can slim in that you just
00:45:15 [Speaker Changed] Must, you recognize, you had just a little can so it’s good to cancel. Precisely. So there’s been folks alongside the way in which which have been nice influences on me which have talked about me on the proper time in my profession.
00:45:26 [Speaker Changed] What are a few of your favourite books and and what are you studying proper now?
00:45:29 [Speaker Changed] I simply completed similar as Ever by Morgan Housel. Once more, this idea of behavioral. I’ll eat up, you place a behavioral, something about behaviors in entrance of me, I learn it so like, you recognize, Richard Thaler mis misbehaving or you recognize, suppose quick, suppose sluggish, all these boats of books. Daniel Crosby is one other one. All these books I simply, however I simply completed that and I simply adore it as a result of once more, all he spends the entire guide is about these items. They simply don’t change over time.
00:45:56 [Speaker Changed] Human nature, human perpetual, 00:45:58 [Speaker Changed] Human nature. Huh.
00:45:59 [Speaker Changed] Actually attention-grabbing. I’ll let you know
00:46:00 [Speaker Changed] The final story. So, or I used to be inform a narrative. I used to be, I used to be on the ground of the New York inventory change the day that Russian invaded Crimea. And certainly one of my shares was down ni my greatest place was down 8% that day. And I stated, they don’t have any shops in Crimea. Why is the inventory down? Properly, as a result of it was geopolitics. Properly, you recognize, and inside three days the inventory got here ro again. So I, it

it’s, all it factors to is usually fundamentals dislodged from, you recognize, the, the inventory costs. And it’s a must to perceive that there’s a hu behavioral ingredient.
00:46:32 [Speaker Changed] My favourite model of that story was, are you accustomed to Cuba? Yeah, certain. So Obama pronounces we’re gonna normalize or begin the method of normalizing relationships with Cuba. There’s a inventory that trades beneath the image CUBA having nothing in any respect. And it runs up 20% on simply on the announcement. Appropriate. As a result of some algorithm picked up Cuba and acquired it. And off, off we go. Appropriate. Wonderful. All proper, our last two questions. What kind of recommendation would you give to a latest faculty grad keen on a profession in both funding administration or finance?
00:47:07 [Speaker Changed] Yeah, so it’s attention-grabbing. I’ve 4 youngsters which can be, you recognize, within the technique of or have simply come outta faculty or within the technique of, and one of many risks I see right this moment is youngsters come outta faculty and so they suppose they know precisely what, what they wanna do. You realize, after which, and I’ll say, you don’t know your, what your capabilities are once you’re 22 years outdated. I imply, I used to be an introvert once I was 22. I’ve, I’ve realized within the early thirties I knew the right way to talk. So I’m, I at all times say get into, if you may get right into a agency that has loads of alternatives, you recognize, right this moment there’s much less coaching packages, however these kinds of issues with numerous alternatives. ’trigger you don’t know what you’re gonna be good at and what you’re good at. All the time comply with what you suppose you’re keen on so long as it makes cash, as a result of that’s in the end, however you don’t know initially. So I at all times encourage folks initially don’t come out and say, I wish to do that the remainder of my life. You don’t know, that’s too slender. Attempt to go to one thing broad. That’s the primary recommendation. And, and I see right this moment the place folks too slender of their focus.
00:48:08 [Speaker Changed] I feel that’s nice recommendation. Individuals, many of the people I work with who’re very profitable, they’re not doing what they did proper outta faculty. And to think about that that’s gonna be your profession. Very a lot deceptive. And, and our last query, what have you learnt concerning the world of investing right this moment that you just want you knew 30 plus years in the past once you had been first getting began?
00:48:29 [Speaker Changed] Properly, I feel, you recognize, 30 years in the past I assumed it was all about simply what’s going on the firm degree. After which I spotted, oh wait, that doesn’t actually, you recognize, drive many of the shares return. So it’s a must to perceive extra concerning the broader implications of corporations. I feel 30 years in the past there was much less dissemination of basic information. Broadly right this moment it’s a lot, you recognize, it’s a lot broader. So having data entry basically is extra, tougher. So I feel the, the enterprise has modified. However once more, I am going again to, I feel the, the most important change in my, how I give it some thought is behaviorally I’ve come to the actual, that being an advisor sitting on the entrance line, I view that as a really key a part of what’s formed my profession. Understanding that, you recognize, once more, it doesn’t matter that the corporate didn’t have any shops in Crimea.
00:49:22 It went down for, you recognize, fairly a bit. Or your Cuba story. I imply that, there’s only a behavioral ingredient to this in investing, investing enterprise. And look, you recognize, once more, I am going a, an amazing instance which I discussed earlier than, which is it didn’t matter what progress shares you personal in 2022, all of them went down, proper? And so was all of it the businesses did poorly, no progress acquired too overbought. And so it had a correction. All of them got here again final 12 months. You realize, so understanding type of these behaviors. I really like that Warren Buffet quote traders body their view wanting solidly within the rear view mirror. Understanding that and being able to tack in opposition to that. That’s actually what’s what’s labored for me over time.

00:50:03 [Speaker Changed] Hmm. Fa fa actually fascinating stuff. Thanks Andrew for being so beneficiant along with your time. We’ve been talking with Andrew Schleman.
