Investment RiskDartmouth Finance Professor Kenneth French, a Dimensional Director and member of Dimensional’s Investment Research Committee, explains that for most investors, risk can be a confusing concept. Professor French, an expert on the behavior of security prices and investment strategies, defines risk as uncertainty about broad lifetime consumption. He also offers helpful examples from investors’ everyday lives to simplify complex ideas and uses the example of Enron’s failure in 2001 to illustrate the power of the broad definition of risk for individuals. The Case for Staying InvestedIt's a well known phenomenon that investors generally pay far too much attention to how markets have performed in the recent past, especially the immediate past. Dimensional Fund Advisors' Global Head of Investment Solutions, Marlena Lee, sits down with Robin Powell to discuss this phenomenon.
The Stock Market Is the Ultimate AI - Prediction is a fools game.There’s plenty of attention on AI, but there’s another, even smarter information-processing machine, the market. Buying the market puts the power of the market to work for investors every day rather than trying to predict when to invest.

Traditional Active Management Doesn't WorkIn the past, most investors used actively managed funds. In other words, they paid fund managers to try to outperform the market by picking which stocks to buy and sell at the right time. It seems a sensible strategy in theory, but there's overwhelming evidence that, in practice, traditional active management simply doesn't work. Dimensional Fund Advisors' Senior Investment Director, Wes Crill, sits down with Robin Powell to explain why this doesn't work.
The Difference the Right Financial Advisor MakesA financial advisor can provide the perspective investors need to tune out the daily noise and stay focused on a long-term plan.
