Welcome to Escient Financial’s Evidence-Based Investment Insights.


Are you ready to become a better investor – to enhance your understanding of the most important principles that drive the creation of wealth – without it hurting a bit? That’s what Evidence-Based Investment Insights is all about.


Each insight will take only a minute or two of your time to explore one essential concept about investing, with an emphasis on ensuring that evidence, not emotion, guides the way. Before you know it, you'll have been introduced to a dozen or so solid principles, based on nearly 70 years of peer-reviewed inquiry into how capital markets efficiently and effectively deliver long-term wealth to patient investors.


Don’t worry, unless you specifically ask about it, you won't have to look at the Greek calculations and multi-factor modeling. Instead, each one will be translated into its meaningful essence: the “What’s in it for me?” you need to know, so you can apply the science of investing into your own portfolio.

You see, being a better investor doesn’t mean you must have an advanced degree in financial economics, or that you have to be smarter, faster, or luckier than the rest of the market. It means:


Knowing and heeding the insights available from those who do have advanced degrees in financial economics,

      • Structuring your portfolio so that you’re playing with rather than against the market and its expected returns, and
      • Avoiding your own most dangerous behaviors – ingrained through eons of evolution – that tempt you to make the worst financial decisions at all the wrong times.

Are you ready to become a better investor on these terms? Come back for the next Evidence-Based Investment Insight: “You, the Market, and the Prices You Pay.”
