War in the Middle East. Rising oil prices. Expensive markets. AI changing everything. With so much noise, what should investors actually do? In this episode of The Purposeful Investor, David Andrew and Aden Wilkins sit down with Apollo Lupescu from Dimensional Fund Advisors to answer the questions coming out of client meetings right now.

Apollo has a gift for making the complex simple, and in this conversation he draws on decades of market data to explain why the right response to uncertainty is almost always the same and what history proves about staying the course.
