Course Description

This webinar, based on Larry’s book “Reducing the Risk of Black Swans, 2018 Edition,” will explain how investors can build more efficient portfolios using the academic research on asset pricing models that have uncovered unique sources of risk and return beyond the CAPM’s market beta. By adding unique sources of risk that have demonstrated premiums that have been persistent, pervasive, robust, implementable, and have intuitive explanations for why the premiums should persist, and lowering the exposure to market beta, investors can create more of a risk parity portfolio. Such a portfolio has historical delivered superior risk-adjusted returns while also reducing crash risk. In addition, the SEC’s approval of interval funds has allowed the investment industry to develop new products that allow individual investors to access other unique sources of risk that improve portfolio efficiency.

Learning Objectives:


  • Demonstrate how adding exposure to factors used in asset pricing models allows investors to move toward a risk parity type portfolio, without having to use leverage.

  • Demonstrate that investors can reduce the potential dispersion of returns without lowering the mean/expected return of the portfolio by adding exposure to equity factors such as size, value, momentum, and profitability/quality.

  • Demonstrate how adding other unique sources of risk can further improve portfolio efficiency.

  • Learn the trade offs that investors accept for moving away from market-like portfolios.

Since joining the firm in 1996, Larry Swedroe has spent his time, talent, and energy educating investors on the benefits of evidence-based investing with enthusiasm few can match.

Larry was among the first authors to publish a book that explained the science of investing in layman’s terms, “The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You’ll Ever Need.” He has since authored seven more books: “What Wall Street Doesn’t Want You to Know” (2001), “Rational Investing in Irrational Times” (2002), “The Successful Investor Today” (2003), “Wise Investing Made Simple” (2007), “Wise Investing Made Simpler” (2010), “The Quest for Alpha” (2011) and “Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett” (2012).

He has also co-authored eight books about investing. His latest work, “Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement,” was co-authored with Kevin Grogan and published in January 2019.

In his role as chief research officer and as a member of the firm’s Investment Policy Committee and Board of Directors, Larry regularly reviews the findings published in dozens of peer-reviewed financial journals, evaluates the outcomes, and uses the result to inform the firm’s formal investment strategy recommendations. He has had his articles published in the Journal of Accountancy, Journal of Investing, AAII Journal, Personal Financial Planning Monthly, and Journal of Indexing.

Larry’s dedication to helping others has made him a sought-after national speaker. He has made appearances on national television shows airing on NBC, CNBC, CNN, and Bloomberg Personal Finance. Larry is a prolific writer, regularly contributing to multiple outlets, including Advisor Perspectives, The Evidence-Based Investor, and Alpha Architect.

Before joining Buckingham, Larry was vice chairman of Prudential Home Mortgage. He has held positions at Citicorp as senior vice president and regional treasurer, responsible for treasury, foreign exchange, and investment banking activities, including risk management strategies.

Larry holds an MBA in finance and investment from New York University and a bachelor’s degree in finance from Baruch College in New York.
