This event is reserved for Accredited Investors (AIs) only. To register for the event, please indicate one of the following:
Endowus and Dimensional Fund Advisors would like to invite you to an evening fireside chat with Professor Robert Novy-Marx, the Lori and Alan S. Zekelman Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the University of Rochester's Simon Business School, and one of the most influential empirical asset pricing researchers of the past two decades.
The session will be hosted and moderated by Gregory Van, Chief Executive Officer at Endowus, with Joel Kim, CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors Asia ex-Japan, joining as a panelist.
Professor Novy-Marx is best known for identifying profitability as a distinct driver of stock returns. This research has reshaped how investors think about "value" and now underpins Dimensional's systematic, factor-based investment strategies, including the Dimensional Factor Portfolios available to Endowus clients.
In this conversation, he will unpack why "cheap" isn't always good value and what more than a decade of live data has confirmed about the profitability and value premiums. Expect a candid, data-grounded discussion on what it means to build resilient, evidence-based portfolios today.
