In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Alex Shahidi, Managing Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Evoke Advisors, to explore why traditional portfolio construction is failing investors. From lost decades in the S&P 500 to the dangers of overconcentration, Alex lays out why diversification is more than a buzzword—and how risk parity creates a framework that can withstand both growth and inflation shocks. In this episode: – Why owning the S&P 500 alone exposes investors to hidden – The lessons from the 1970s inflation era and what they mean – How risk parity differs from traditional 60/40 – The biggest misconceptions investors have about risk – Practical first steps investors can take to diversify Lead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
