Take the example of the financial economist and Nobel laureate Harry Markowitz, one of the founders of modern portfolio theory. When asked about how he allocated his retirement account, he confessed: “I should have computed the historic covariances of the asset classes and drawn an efficient frontier. Instead … I split my contributions fifty-fifty between bonds and equities.

— Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler: Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness

The fix is in.

About

I love geography, design, markets, web services, iterations, and tasting menus. You can find me on Twitter, Quora and LinkedIn, I worked for five years in finance and am currently the VP of Acquisition, Retention & Revenue at HowAboutWe. I teach a Skillshare class on how to transition from finance into a tech startup.

    It’s officially the summer of weddings. Currently: riding in a bus, drinking, heading to the reception.
