"What if you could get inside the minds of some of the greatest investors in history? It would be nice if you had a window straight into their heads, but in reality it would take years of hard work to learn to think the way they do. . . Or, you could simply read. . . . In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio. "---Mark Reeth, Business Insider
"A good look at the development of portfolio theory, starting with Markowitz."---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
"An accessible and heady chronicle of how we build portfolios, how that’s changed, and why we’ve done it the way we’ve done it over time. How did investors come to coalesce around the 60/40 portfolio allocation, and what role do alternatives play in asset allocation? This readable book takes on those questions and many more"---Jeff Ptak, Morningstar
