We’re grateful to have Larry Swedroe as both a longtime friend to Hill Investment Group and a foundational voice in the evidence-based investing community. For decades, Larry has helped investors cut through noise, resist prediction-driven thinking, and stay anchored in the data – an approach that has shaped our work and benefited the clients we serve.

In his latest appearance on the October 22nd Excess Returns podcast (the same show our CIO, Matt Zenz, joined recently), Larry brings that perspective to today’s big conversations around tariffs, immigration, AI, and market structure.

If you only have a few minutes…

Jump to 33:05, where Larry explains why smaller, more nimble funds can access deeper exposures in areas like small-cap value – an insight that reinforces one of the key advantages of our own approach to managing The Longview Advantage ETF (EBI). 

It’s a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation, and we’re thankful for Larry’s ongoing partnership and the clarity he brings to evidence-based investing.

Matt Zenz appeared on the October 4 podcast episode of Excess Returns to discuss the case for evidence-based investing and the challenges that can accompany scale among the industry’s largest investment firms. He shared how research-driven firms, such as Longview Research Partners apply more nimble strategies to maintain efficiency and align with evidence-based principles.

Be sure to listen at the 44:30 mark, where Matt explores the benefits of agility in investing and how smaller, research-focused funds can often make decisions and implement changes more efficiently than larger counterparts.

Hill Investment Group and Longview Research Partners did not compensate the podcast or its hosts for this appearance.

We’re delighted to share that Hill Investment Group will host a very special evening with Carl Richards—internationally recognized author, speaker, and podcaster—on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at The Racquet Club in St. Louis, which will be one of Carl’s first stops on his national book launch tour for the release of his latest work Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches.

Many of you know Carl through his Behavior Gap sketches and writing. His simple drawings and powerful insights remind us that clarity often comes from seeing complex ideas made beautifully simple.
This gathering will include cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a lively conversation with Carl about his newest work and what it means to “take the long view” in both money and life.
