Why is my money being invested in index funds?

We believe that the best approach to investing is to focus on diversifying your investment portfolio across asset classes, seeking to maximize the expected rate of return for a given level of risk.

If this strategy sounds familiar, that’s probably because it’s the basis of Modern Portfolio Theory. In fact, Dr. Harry Markowitz, the Nobel Prize-winning father of Modern Portfolio Theory, is on our advisory board.
