About This Episode

Today’s episode will focus on the Human Capital Factor (HCF). This factor applies workplace behavioral science, financial acumen and deep data science to capture the powerful connection between human capital and stock performance. By understanding company culture and intrinsic employee motivation, my guests have transformed these insights into investment strategies. For advisors looking for a way to generate additional alpha in client portfolios, understanding the HCF and how these products fit in a portfolio may lead to better returns and greater client satisfaction levels.
