Episode 18: Rusty Vanneman, CMT, CFA

Fill The Gap: The Official Podcast of the CMT Association

Thirty year veteran of the financial markets, decorated investment manager, leader of investment teams, and communicator of investment strategies joins us this month for a chat amongst old friends.

Classmates at Babson and former colleagues at both Thomson Financial and Fidelity Investments, Dave and Rusty can practically end each other’s sentences, so this month’s discussion and debate takes us in many directions, including:

• Why do investors of high-performing portfolio managers fail to achieve the same returns as the fund?
• Why is communication of the strategy so critically important, and how can it be done better?
• Does “Value” work? And, what fundamental drivers help value shares outperform in inflationary regimes?
• Why is this Radiohead tune Rusty’s chosen walkout song?
• Competitive Stationary Rowing is a real thing?

Rusty is a host of Orion’s The Weighing Machine podcast and authored the book “Higher Calling: A Guide to Helping Investors Achieve Their Goals.” He also serves as the Chief Investment Strategist for Orion Advisor Solutions.

Rusty was such a fun guest to interview because he is always candid, full of energy, and has delivered excellence in every stage of his career. Currently, Rusty delivers relevant market-and platform-related content that supports deeper, more engaging conversations with advisors and investors. He is passionate about educating investors to help deliver more favorable outcomes. And as a successful fund manager himself, Rusty excels in identifying new investment offerings to meet growing marketplace demand.
