Meb Faber: Taxation and Diversification - [Making Markets, EP.54]

My guest today is Meb Faber, the co-founder and CIO of Cambria Investments, an RIA that manages over $2B in assets. Meb is also one of the biggest investing nerds I know, and today, we dive into a wide variety of topics, from taxation to portfolio construction to various asset classes.

We start by diving into the 351 exchange, its mechanics, and the problems it solves for investors. Meb then shares his broad view of the market, how Cambria combines value investing with trends, and the impact of concentration. We close by talking about fixed income, public and private markets, and a few hot takes. Please enjoy this conversation with Meb Faber.
