The success of Moneyball, made famous by the Oakland A’s, could only be achieved by thinking differently, re-inventing a player’s worth and focusing on value. Ultimately, it relied on facts and fundamentals and disregarded the unknowable future.
Despite its reference to money management, however, such an approach has largely been ignored by traditional asset managers who continue to look for an edge. Overly confident in their ability to pick winners, these managers assume they have some predictive ability and knowledge of the future. And clearly, no one has that. Worse, this outdated approach fuels a portfolio mispricing risk that can significantly erode returns over time.
