Compelling evidence to own stocks

Markets over the last year have caused many investors to question the risk of owning stocks and whether stocks will pay off going forward.

In September, I travelled to the Wharton School in Philadelphia to meet with Jeremy Siegel, the leading authority on long term returns in different asset classes and author of “Stocks for the Long Run”, consistently ranked among the top ten all time most influential books on investing.

Among the topics we covered was his research on long term returns in stocks and why it still makes sense to own stocks – you can view that interview here:

This is one of more than 100 short video interviews you can email to clients at the new site clientinsights.ca.

Among the other interviews I conducted with Jeremy Siegel available on this site:

Why Siegel believes stocks represent good value at today’s levels

The case for international investing

Why stocks have underperformed over the past ten years

Why the price you pay for stocks is the single most important determinant of returns and his new research on something called “the growth trap”  

My conversation with Jeremy Siegel was also the topic of a widely read column in the Globe and Mail, titled “History shows stocks king for long term investing.”

You can view a summary of that Globe column on this video:
