My guest today is Mark Kritzman, a Senior Lecturer in Finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management, founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Windham Capital Management and serves as a senior partner of State Street Associates. Mark has written six books, his latest titled "A Practitioners Guide to Asset Allocation". Mark began his career on Wall Street in 1974 and was immediately drawn toward systematic trading. At a time when there were not many quantitative traders, he was affectionately titled a "token quant" within his company. Over the years Mark has been an advisor to many funds.
The topic is his book A Practitioner's Guide to Asset Allocation.
