#61 - End of the 4% Club Golden Era

  • Jan 26, 2023

Phil Segner takes another look at the 4% club. For those of you not familiar with this vignette: back in the day, achieving a 4% weight in the S&P 500 had been a rare feat, occurring only during periods of extreme enthusiasm for technology, conglomerates or oil.

  • Oct 26, 2022
