And definitely, their retail market participation is significantly lower than you can see in the U.S. But I think it’s definitely changing, Barry, because, you know, you see more and more fintech platforms and robo-advisors that in a way, are making accessing financial markets easier for more and more investors in in Spain.
And then I have to ask the same question, so Union Square Ventures, by definition Union Square is here in New York City. And from a public market, that sounds like it’s a compliance and conflict nightmare. WENGER: No, we’ve definitely always been disciplined on valuation, and we’ve let a number of things go.
00:03:14 [Mike Greene] So that was actually an outgrowth from my experience coming out of Wharton and you mentioned the, the, you know, the transition of people who tended to be skilled at math or physics into finance. Definitely 00:07:32 [Speaker Changed] True. So any compliance people listening, I’m just spitballing here.
I’d say management consulting is any of the other thing that least at that time was the other career trajectory, just my personality, more of a math oriented introvert. And ev all the sort of compliance, client service, legal, kind of, everything was done sort of on the side by investment people. So I was at Harvard.
She has a really fascinating background, very eclectic, a combination of math and law. You, you get a, a BS in Mathematics and a JD from Boston University Math and Law. It is something, math has always come easy to me since a child. I didn’t get an advanced degree in math. Not the usual combination. What happened?
I couldn’t pass up on the one-click compliance! I was considering building my own with a regular web designer, but as a solo advisor, I just don’t have time to get every single edit approved through compliance before going live. I create a lot of content and didn’t want “submitting things to compliance” to become a time suck.
When you actually do the math, traditional braces or Invisalign can easily cost $24,000 or more for four kids! I could definitely picture some kids taking out their aligner to eat lunch at school, then dumping their retainers in the trash with their lunch tray. Our middle son getting Invisalign is very responsible, though.
But the numbers you can’t argue with, I mean, we all know that the brutal math of investing before costs investors collectively will earn the market return after costs. It was just a struggle from day one, particularly in the regulatory environment that is the securities business between lawyers and compliance people.
I was a, I’m a rural guy, kind of grew up in a, you know, farm town in Illinois and in Texas, which is in Dallas, but not really a farm town, but it, you know, more rural, definitely more Midwestern southern even. But, but definitely fiscal and monetary policy. And that’s definitely not priced.
RIEDER: Yeah, it was definitely dumb luck. Today, it’s a little bit different because now we’re approaching the end of — by the way, it’s not definitive, but we’re probably approaching a point where the Fed is going to pause, Europe still got a bit more to go. RITHOLTZ: — everything blew up.
Let me say what your compliance wouldn’t allow you to say. the experience of investors is asset weighted by definition. SEIDES: So keep in mind the only definitive information about the bet was in Carol’s two page piece. And at the time, I was managing Protege Partners as a hedge fund of funds. It is with Millennium.
SARA GRILLO: Awesome, so be… Let’s just start with a real quick definition, what is IUL? I’m excited to talk about index tools should be good, and this topic needs transparency, so I’m sure I have a great conversation about it. BOBBY SAMUELSON: Not it probably is.
The bonds aren’t worthless, but they’re definitely not trading at par. There are a ton of expenses, and they’re getting higher with compliance and marketing and reporting and investor relationship, et cetera. MIELLE: And it’s all a matter of how wide your definition of luck is. MIELLE: Exactly.
That’s a pretty good run of the general trend is lower, and you have equity markets from 80 at least through ‘21, rising pretty substantial, even with the 2000s being a pretty — KLINSKY: It’s definitely been a 40-year secular bull market. RITHOLTZ: So it’s different math then I need 100x winner versus 99?
00:10:47 [Speaker Changed] So in the additive services that Orion offers now are financial planning, compliance, CRM services, risk and analysis portfolio construction and advisor portal and investor portal. 00:32:50 [Speaker Changed] I mean, the first is definitely regulation. 00:39:04 [Speaker Changed] Yeah, it is definitely true.
It gets around issues like an aging society and definitions of unemployment, which only counts people who are actively looking for work. By my math, there have been 57 Super Bowls and 22 different winners. In fact, the only time stocks were lower was in 2015, when the full year ended down by 0.7%, so virtually flat.
And so then the question is, and as I like to say, here’s my definition of a quandary. BORISH: And it’s changed a little bit now because of 24 hour trading, and so sometimes the extreme, you do close on the low and extreme, and there isn’t that much follow through the next day, but then there was definitely follow through.
It definitely does. ASNESS: Well, I was striving for uncorrelated, but then the compliance officer in my head is saying sometimes it doesn’t come out to zero all the time. And it’s really not a compliance reason, I hope it’s more of an intellectual honesty reason. So I think this can definitely be part of it.
And I, and I really like the application of math and statistics and computer science to markets. You know, you run an RIA, the SEC just comes knocking every once in a while to say, Hey, just wanna make sure the compliance program’s all set up. You learn the math that can help you with, with market making operations.
I’m kind of in intrigued by the idea of philosophy and math. So I found myself getting kind of bored with my math problem sets, and then I could shift to philosophy and then go back and forth. So, so you’re, you’re definitely channeling a little Farrell. 01:09:14 [Speaker Changed] Oh, rich, definitely.
Jeffrey Sherman : Well, what it was was, so I, as I said, with applications, there’s many applications of math, and the usually obvious one is physics. Barry Ritholtz : It seems that some people are math people and some people are not. The, the math came easier. And I really hated physics, really. It’s so true.
RITHOLTZ: Definitely, right. Um, case anybody that says anything, non-compliant, compliance tracks that also the watch list is just sort of fun. So this is the math that I applied. So think about this, do the math. LINDZON: But that math, if you really put it in a calculator … RITHOLTZ: Becomes a problem.
