I guess it's just my belief that companies that tend to perform better tend to perform better and that's all I care about.ochotona wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 1:29 pmI went to business school *not recently* and in the 1980s we were reading case histories that argued that companies that did not engage all of their employees fully performed worse. Why is that hard to believe? And why does it bother you?
If I have a V8 engine, I need all eight to fire when needed.
Arguing the inverse, would ETFs tracking the "whites dudes only" index demonstrate alpha? If so, why?
Sure, and that's all the shareholder needs to care about, I agree with that. But real, inclusive teamwork is about as all-American as anything. That's what the young people in the volunteer military are all about... they respect and rely on the contributions of members of the team, so that the team and it's members survive and win.jacksonM wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 1:43 pmI guess it's just my belief that companies that tend to perform better tend to perform better and that's all I care about.ochotona wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 1:29 pmI went to business school *not recently* and in the 1980s we were reading case histories that argued that companies that did not engage all of their employees fully performed worse.

Jordan Peterson has said that the question isn't why aren't there more women in these high competition, high stakes companies and positions, but why do some men seek them out in the first place?ochotona wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 1:29 pmI went to business school *not recently* and in the 1980s we were reading case histories that argued that companies that did not engage all of their employees fully performed worse.

Reading the fine print on that claim, I find it interesting that they had to invent a new benchmark to match the sector weightings of the companies that meet the diversity criteria of the fund. That makes me think 1) it must not look so hot compared to the normal market benchmark, and 2) we'll see an interesting sector bias in the companies it holds. Basically, the final makeup of the fund may tell us more about the industries that attract women than about the companies that do.Xan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 10:26 pmThis particular ad only says "could offer the opportunity for higher returns" (emphasis mine), which I do believe to be deceptive, because it applies to any investment, and is only being said there to make it sound like such a thing is expected (when it probably is not).
Herein lies the problem: how exactly do you determine this, and who makes the decision?
