Podcast: Do famous investment sayings hold water?
Our Asset Allocation team recently released a whitepaper aiming to answer this question. We caught up with some of the authors to hear the highlights.

Anyone who has spent time thinking about markets is likely to have heard at least a few time-honoured investing aphorisms. But do they actually work?
In this episode, three experts discuss the findings from their recent whitepaper. Our speakers are:
- Christopher Jeffery, Head of Macro Strategy
- Christopher Teschmacher, Fund Manager and Head of Asset Allocation Investment Specialists
- Patrick Greene, Strategist
This podcast is hosted by Dee Campell, DC Content Manager, and was recorded on 8 September 2025.
