My guest today is Daniel Peris, a portfolio manager at Federated Investors. Before transitioning into asset management, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history, but now self identifies as a business investor. Daniel has strong views on economic practices like the efficient market hypothesis (Eugene Fama) and modern portfolio theory. 

The topic is his book Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Modern portfolio theory
• Efficient market hypothesis
• Value investing
• Momentum investing
• Diversification
• Portfolio selection
• Defining risk
