In today's episode, Matt chats with Jeromey Thornton, Senior Investment Director at Avantis Investments, about the inner workings of the investing and portfolio management industry. Jeromey explains how the investment funds you invest in are set up, how they operate, and what kind of strategies they use to differentiate themselves in the market. He also explains how the exchange traded fund, or ETF, came into being, how it differs from a mutual fund, and the tax implications of capital gains and losses in each.
