Stock Return Momentum and Investor Fund Choices

Travis Sapp and Ashish Tiwari Volume 4, Number 3, Third Quarter 2006 Recent research by Gruber (1996) and Zheng (1999) has shown that investors are able to predict mutual fund performance and invest accordingly.

de Finetti Scoops Markowitz

Harry M. Markowitz Volume 4, Number 3, Third Quarter 2006 In 1940, in the context of choosing optimum reinsurance levels, Bruno de Finetti essentially proposed mean-variance analysis with correlated risks.
