Rob Arnott to @WSJ on AI-driven large caps: “I’m of the view that we’re looking at a bubble here.” He sees an extreme valuation gap between the S&P 500 and the next 500.

Rob Arnott thinks the US market is frothy and expensive. He also thinks shorting it is a bad idea, since bubbles often blow off on the upside before they break.
He sat down with @BloombergTV’s Open Interest to explain what to do instead, and where the firm’s new name Syzygy comes from: alignment, with the end investor first.
Watch the interview with @VonnieQuinn and @BTLipschultz below.

💫Introducing Syzygy Asset Management. 💫
When independently moving celestial bodies line up along a single axis, astronomers call it a syzygy. For us, that idea of alignment captures the investment discipline behind our new firm.
Formerly Research Affiliates, Syzygy Asset Management builds on decades of independent research and investment experience, with a focused set of active investment strategies.
In his latest CIO Insights, Chief Investment Officer Jim Masturzo, CFA, explains why the name matters and why the philosophy behind it is particularly relevant in today’s markets.
Market dispersion has risen sharply while correlations have fallen, creating a potentially richer opportunity set for active investors. At Syzygy, pursuing that opportunity starts with alignment among economic foundations, signal expression, and portfolio construction.
As Jim writes:
“That’s alignment, that’s the part we can control.”

@RA_Insights has sold its RAFI Indices business to TMX @Vetta_Fi, a deliberate choice, made from a position of strength, and is relaunching as @SyzygyAssetMgmt.
A syzygy is the alignment of three celestial bodies. Syzygy Asset Management brings that same idea to investing: aligning the building blocks of a modern portfolio.
Official launch: September 2026. Follow along for what's ahead.
