For decades, your investment portfolio has revolved around a key academic idea that hasn’t held up very well: efficient markets. There’s a direct line from the efficient markets theory of Eugene Fama in the 1960s to modern portfolio theory. It paved the way for index funds, a strategy that has not only weathered market cycles but also become the default for managing pensions and retirement accounts.
