What's your take on that? That's just factor investing with a marketing ploy isn't it?" 24:49 "That, to me, is smart beta because it's patient trading and over time will outperform the index." 25:44 - "There is a thing that you can call smart beta, but 98 or 99 percent of what the industry calls smart beta is marketing hype." 29:19 - "Never let your political views influence your investment decisions.
