Quick Drop: Wes Gray - Talking about BOX...

BILL BREWSTER
About this episode

Wes Gray, the Alpha Architect himself, stops by the Business Brew to discuss how he (a) created the ETF $BOXX, (b) helps people start their own ETFs, (c) why value and momentum work as factors, and much more.


This episode is a quick release after Corey Hoffstein's. It may or may not be the only episode we release for the next 13 days or so.


The release cadence is influenced by the amount of press BOXX has been getting. We hope to add to your understanding. As always, do your due diligence!
