On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Bob Fraser. Bob explains why many passive investors underperform not because they choose bad deals, but because they misunderstand portfolio construction and risk. He breaks down how volatility quietly erodes compounding, why true diversification requires uncorrelated assets, and how family offices think differently about capital preservation. The conversation also explores private credit, real estate’s role in reducing portfolio swings, and why operator alignment matters most when markets turn.
