The Lords of finance have somehow convinced investors that “simple” always beats “complex” in markets. But this is rubbish.

The fact is every portfolio – even so-called passive portfolio – express very active beliefs about how markets function, and relationships between risk and return. It’s critical to understand these relationships to choose the optimal method of portfolio formation.

In this episode the guys discuss ReSolve’s portfolio optimization article series and describe why appropriate portfolio optimization can act as a powerful force-multiplier on long-term performance.
