What is Evidence-Based Investing?

1. The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making investment decisions.
(Adapted from David L. Sackett)

2. A bridge between academic finance and practical investing.

3. Concepts derived from leading thinkers in the academic finance community and the best available evidence from hypothesis-based research.
