Many Happy Returns
It’s that time of the year when the talking heads of television and the prognosticators of print issue their sage outlooks for the coming 12 months. While this crystal ball gazing is always entertaining, it becomes even more so a year later. Check out this short piece from Jim Parker of DFA Australia.
Fortune Magazine on Gene Fama
Fortune Magazine asks: “What can you learn from Mr. Efficient Markets now?”
We are thrilled that Gene Fama was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Professor Fama’s work remains a foundation of our approach, and his groundbreaking work inspired the founding of Dimensional Fund Advisors, one of our strategic partners. Professor Fama currently serves as a director and consultant for DFA.
This article’s outstanding profile of Gene’s background, hobbies and life’s work is well worth your time.
Musings from Hedge Fund Legend Cliff Asness
The story that follows is one of the more technical pieces that we have shared on our blog, but it is a fun introduction to Cliff Asness for those who aren’t yet familiar with his name. As referenced in another recent post, Cliff was a student of Gene Fama and since founded AQR Capital Management. Though his approach may seem lighthearted, his intent is seriously aimed at helping investors sort through the noise. For example, the word “Bubble” is not only overused, but—for efficient-market fans like us—“It should never be uttered outside the tub.” Click here to read Cliff’s Top 10 Peeves.
Stay tuned for more in the future from AQR!
