Evidence-Based Investing
A Scientific Framework for the Art of Investing

How can investors sort through the vast amount of available data to maximize after-tax return and minimize risk? This paper provides a framework called Evidence-Based Investing that can provide investors optimal outcomes based on compelling scientific evidence.
