Nobody can establish who first used the phrase 'evidence-based investing', and no regulator defines it. Robin Powell, who was given the name by Larry Swedroe in 2015 and is sometimes wrongly credited with coining it, sets out what it actually means: four tests of what counts as evidence, borrowed from a medical parallel that hit the same crisis twelve years ago. Including where he goes further than a global tracker, and why he holds that position less firmly than he used to.
The wealth management industry thinks it has a marketing problem with women. The evidence points to something costlier: women are charged more for the same products, are more exposed to the underperformance that erodes a portfolio over time, and live longer for that drag to compound. A look at what the research says about the financial advice women receive, and what advice built around the life it has to fund would do differently.
