ReSolve Riffs with Phil Bak – The Entrepreneurial Mindset

This is “ReSolve’s Riffs” – live on Youtube every Friday afternoon to debate the most relevant investment topics of the day.

It is said that creating a job for yourself is always better than getting one. Whoever said that probably never lived through the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur. But some people just can’t help themselves. Phil Bak is one of these serial entrepreneurs. He joined us to riff on topics such as:

  • Building businesses from a young age and knowing when to sell them
  • The recent sale of his company and his next project
  • Overcrowding and saturation within the ETF space
  • Seemingly endless opportunities in fintech
  • Insurance landscape ripe for massive disruption

We also discussed the current state of smart beta strategies, their significant underperformance and how investors should think about sustainable edges in the coming years. We will be further exploring this topic in our next episode.

Thank you for watching and listening. See you next week.
