Master the mechanical rules needed to capture trends while avoiding emotional traps.</li><li><b>The Quality Defense: </b> How to use factors like high ROE and low debt to build a portfolio that survives recessions better than the average market.</li><li><b>The All-Weather Portfolio: </b> Discover how the negative correlation of Value and Momentum cancels out volatility, making your combined portfolio smoother and emotionally easier to hold.</li><li><b>Tax Optimization: </b> Strategies for using tax-advantaged accounts (including specific guidance for Indian and Global investors) to maximize your after-tax returns.</li></ul>Your Biggest Enemy is Your Own Impatience.<br>Factor investing works, but it requires discipline.
