Quant Radio: The Less-Efficient Market Hypothesis

Listen Later

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the fascinating insights of Clifford Asness’s paper, "The Less-Efficient Market Hypothesis." With market dynamics evolving, Asness makes a compelling case that the stock market may actually be becoming less efficient, posing unique challenges—and opportunities—for investors.


Key Highlights:

  • The “Value Spread” Phenomenon: Why the valuation gap between high-growth and undervalued stocks could signal market bubbles.
  • Factors Driving Inefficiency: Passive indexing, low interest rates, and the role of social media in creating a “herd mentality.”
  • Investment Survival Kit: Asness’s strategies for staying rational, learning from market history, and maintaining a long-term focus.


    • Whether you’re an investing enthusiast or a market newcomer, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on how today’s markets work—and how they might be changing.
