I recently filmed a video with my collaborator Erin Allen of BMO ETFs as part of their Spring Into ETFs 2025 series. This is a 25-minute conversation that covers the evidence and rationale behind why asset allocation ETFs are such a great way to invest effectively. We cover the importance of asset allocation vs. market-timing, taking compensated investment risk, mitigating uncompensated risks, human biases, and the impact of being naughty or nice. Asset allocation ETFs may be a great tool, but one that you can still misuse if you do not understand this information.
This is a short video, and asset allocation ETFs are an elegant tool. Surprisingly, to most people, the impact could be profound, like a third of your portfolio profound, or more than doubling your money over your investing horizon. Watch and find out why.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure: I was paid with a nice bottle of wine and two croissants to make this video. I also got free makeup, and really enjoyed the studio environment and conversations. BMO ETFs is also one of the few sponsors I have allowed on this site with a banner ad. We collaborate because they make great Canadian-focused educational ETF investor content.
Great content Dr. Soth and Erin!
Thanks! It was great to distill a bunch of important information into 25 minutes and at a conversational level.
