Rob Arnott, the founder of Research Affiliates, is not your average investor. With a passion for math and a love for astrophysics, Arnott has carved out a unique path in the world of finance. But it’s not just his background that sets him apart; it’s also his fascination with solar eclipses.

Having witnessed 18 solar eclipses around the globe, Arnott’s love for these celestial events is palpable. From Antarctica to Australia, Iceland to Bhutan, and even the Black Sea, he has traveled far and wide to catch a glimpse of these awe-inspiring phenomena. Describing the experience as “the most amazing sight the sky has to offer,” Arnott reflects on the emotional impact of seeing a solar eclipse. It’s a moment that makes you feel small in the vast universe yet deeply moved by the beauty of it all.

While Arnott’s interest in astrophysics may have taken a back seat to his career in finance, his innovative approach to investing has made a significant impact. As a pioneer in index investing products, Arnott has challenged traditional strategies by introducing alternative index strategies like the Fundamental Index. These strategies aim to address flaws in popular mainstream indexes, such as the S&P 500, which can unintentionally overweight certain sectors or themes.

Continuing to push the boundaries of investing, Arnott recently launched the Research Affiliates Cap-Weighted US ETF, which takes a fundamentals-based approach to indexing. By considering factors like adjusted sales, cash flow, dividends, and book value, the fund aims to outperform traditional cap-weighted indexes like the S&P 500. And it’s not just a theory; Arnott’s framework has beaten the S&P 500 by an average of 0.69% annually since the early 1990s.

Arnott’s approach to investing mirrors his curiosity in science and his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. Just as he questions the status quo in the investing world, he continues to seek out anomalies in the market that offer attractive risk-reward opportunities. While his strategies may not be as flashy or volatile as growth areas of the market, they have proven to deliver results over time.

As Arnott shared stories of his eclipse-chasing adventures over lunch, it became clear that his passion for the unknown extends beyond the skies. With a blend of scientific curiosity and financial acumen, Arnott is a true maverick in the world of investing, constantly seeking out new opportunities and challenging established norms.

In a world where change is often met with resistance, Arnott’s willingness to question the status quo and explore new possibilities sets him apart as a visionary in the field. Just as he captures the magic of a solar eclipse through his lens, Arnott continues to capture the imagination of investors with his innovative strategies and unwavering dedication to seeking out the extraordinary in the ordinary.
