The foundation of the investment strategy used at our firm, PWL Capital Inc., has come out of extensive research, over many years, by financial economists Eugene Fama Sr. and Kenneth R. French.  Their work over the years is nothing short of incredible, and has been an important part of Dimensional Fund Advisors, our key investment partner, investment strategy.

Today I wanted to highlight a new web site, put together by Dimensional, where you now have access to the thinking of these two brilliant academics.

 

If you have questions such as:

 

  • Is the market turmoil a sign that markets are not efficient?
  • How useful is an approach based on historical data when the current situation appears to be unprecedented?

Then I think you will find this site interesting: http://www.dimensional.com/famafrench/

 

In addition to an excellent Q & A, there are links to many other fascinating articles, for those who want to dig into more details.
