Chris & Paul October 2025 Q&A

Paul Merriman and Chris Pedersen tackle your biggest questions—from simplifying portfolios and picking best-in-class ETFs to understanding equal-weighted funds, tax efficiency, and how much small-cap value to own. They dig into factor investing (size, value, quality, profitability, momentum), why reversion to the mean matters, and how to think like an owner—not a speculator. Plus: mentors, work-life balance, and the real risk investors face.

Equal-weighting boosts small/value exposure but can increase turnover and tax drag; pairing large-cap blend with small-cap value can be more efficient. Decide small-cap value allocation by temperament (common range: 10–50% of equities when pairing with S&P 500/target date). Index approach vs. index label: DFA/Avantis are systematic and rules-based without telegraphing rebalances. Think like an owner: over decades, earnings—not sentiment—drive returns.
