Intro

Bryce and Ren sit down with Kerry Craig, Portfolio Manager & Global Market Strategist at JP Morgan Asset Management, to unpack strategic asset allocation. While stock picking gets all the attention, Kerry makes the case that how you allocate your money across asset classes matters far more than finding the next 10-bagger.
