In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, hosts Clint Walkner, Stan Farmer, and Ian Beardsley are joined by Meb Faber, Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management, for an in-depth discussion on utilizing Section 351 to seed newly launching exchange-traded funds—a mechanism that can provide a tax-efficient approach to diversifying concentrated stock and ETF positions.
The conversation explores the mechanics, potential benefits, and use cases for these funds, and how they may fit into broader portfolio management and diversification strategies. Meb also shares his perspective on global investing themes, market observations, and future developments in the investment landscape.
