At investlogic.io, our investment philosophy is built on decades of academic research and proven principles from Nobel Prize-winning economists. We believe that every investor deserves access to transparent, science-based portfolio strategies—without complexity or jargon.
Our approach combines the mathematical rigor of Modern Portfolio Theory with the practical insights of behavioral finance, resulting in portfolios that are both theoretically sound and practically implementable.
Academic Foundation
Nobel Prize-Winning Research
Harry Markowitz
1952Modern Portfolio Theory
Nobel Prize in Economics (1990)
Demonstrated how to mathematically optimize portfolio risk and return through diversification. Introduced the efficient frontier concept.
Key Insight: Don't put all your eggs in one basket - mathematical proof that diversification reduces risk.
William Sharpe
1964Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Nobel Prize in Economics (1990)
Established the relationship between systematic risk and expected return. Created the Sharpe ratio for risk-adjusted performance measurement.
Key Insight: Higher returns require taking higher systematic risk - but smart diversification can eliminate unnecessary risk.
Eugene Fama
1970Efficient Market Hypothesis
Nobel Prize in Economics (2013)
Showed that markets efficiently incorporate all available information, making consistent outperformance extremely difficult.
Key Insight: Markets are hard to beat consistently - focus on low-cost, broad diversification instead of stock picking.
Burton Malkiel
1973Random Walk Theory
Princeton Professor, Author
Popularized the concept that stock prices follow a random walk, making market timing and stock selection unreliable for most investors.
Key Insight: A blindfolded monkey throwing darts can select stocks as well as most professionals.
Why Academic Research Matters
Academic research provides the foundation for evidence-based investing. Unlike market predictions or hot tips, academic research is peer-reviewed, tested across decades of data, and based on mathematical principles rather than speculation. This gives you confidence that your investment strategy is built on solid ground, not the latest trend.
Our Methodology
Our 4-Step Process
Risk Assessment
We evaluate your risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial goals through a scientific questionnaire.
Asset Class Selection
Based on academic research, we select optimal asset classes for your risk profile.
Portfolio Optimization
Using mathematical optimization, we determine the ideal allocation for maximum risk-adjusted returns.
Implementation Guidance
We provide specific, actionable recommendations for implementing a portfolio.
Core Principles
Evidence-Based Investing
Every recommendation is backed by peer-reviewed academic research and decades of market data.
Cost Minimization
High fees are the enemy of long-term returns. We focus on low-cost, efficient implementation.
Long-Term Focus
Short-term market noise is ignored in favor of long-term wealth building strategies.
Risk Management
Risk is managed through diversification, not eliminated - appropriate risk taking is essential for growth.
Mathematical Foundation
Efficient Frontier
E(Rp) = Σ(wi × E(Ri))The mathematical boundary representing optimal risk-return combinations. No portfolio can offer higher returns for the same risk level.
Real-World Application: Helps determine the best possible portfolio for your risk tolerance.
Sharpe Ratio
S = (Rp - Rf) / σpMeasures risk-adjusted returns by comparing excess return to volatility. Higher ratios indicate better risk-adjusted performance.
Real-World Application: Allows comparison of different portfolios on a risk-adjusted basis.
Correlation Coefficient
ρ = Cov(Ra,Rb) / (σa × σb)Measures how assets move together. Lower correlations provide better diversification benefits.
Real-World Application: Guides asset selection to maximize diversification benefits.
Beta
β = Cov(Ra,Rm) / Var(Rm)Measures systematic risk relative to the market. Beta of 1.0 means the asset moves with the market.
Real-World Application: Helps understand how volatile your portfolio will be relative to the overall market.
Why Mathematics Matters
Mathematical models remove emotion and bias from investment decisions. While markets can be unpredictable in the short term, mathematical principles like diversification and risk-return optimization have proven reliable over long periods. Our algorithms apply these time-tested formulas to create portfolios optimized for your specific situation.
