Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Rich Wiggins makes a habit of taking aim at golden calves. Most recently, he published a criticism of smart-beta strategies in Institutional Investor titled “Smart Beta Is Making This Strategist Sick,” and previously he authored “Cloning DFA,” which appeared in the final issue of ETF.com’s own Journal of Indexes, among many other pieces.
