Episode 62: Weight of the Evidence with Keith Lerner, CMT, CFA

In episode 62 of Fill the Gap, hosts Tyler Wood, CMT and Dave Lundgren, CMT, CFA interview Keith Lerner, CMT, CFA, the CIO and Chief Market Strategist at Truist Advisory Services, about his “weight of the evidence” investment framework, which integrates history, economics, fundamentals, and technical analysis to guide portfolio decisions. 

Lerner explains how technical analysis serves as a critical accountability tool that can challenge narratives, force humility, and prompt timely portfolio adjustments when market data diverges from expectations. He discusses how the relative importance of different signals changes across market cycles, noting periods—such as sharp volatility events—when technicals deserve greater weight due to uncertainty in fundamentals or macro outcomes.

Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.
