Laurence B. Siegel is the Director of Research at the CFA Institute Research Foundation and a writer, speaker, and consultant. Siegel graduated from the University of Chicago with both a BA & a MBA. His website is http://www.larrysiegel.org.
Sexauer and Siegel describe the “bolt from the blue” represented by Harry Markowitz’s 1952 discovery of mean-variance optimization for investment portfolios. They indicate how optimization has been applied and misapplied, and suggest a new heuristic for combining optimizer outputs with other information.
