Did you know there are six false beliefs that might be holding you back from financial freedom? In this episode of the Simply Investing Dividend Podcast, I sit down with Doug Kinsey, Chief Investment Officer at Artifex Financial Group. With over 25 years of experience in financial services, Doug brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on how to grow and protect your wealth. Doug’s passion for investing started early — reading books on finance as a child and developing a lifelong curiosity about businesses, new ideas, and hidden value. Today, he challenges conventional thinking by questioning the limits of Modern Portfolio Theory, the dangers of over-relying on statistics, and the blind faith in indexing. Instead, Doug makes the case for a smarter, more common-sense approach to active management — one that puts careful research, patience, and sound judgment back at the center of investing success. If you’re ready to uncover the false beliefs that may be sabotaging your portfolio and learn how to invest with confidence, this episode is for you.
