Making Billions: The Private Equity Podcast for Fund Managers, Alternative Asset Managers, and Venture Capital Investors Is Modern Portfolio Theory Broken? SynthEquity Revolutionizes Portfolios
"RAISE CAPITAL LIKE A LEGEND: https://go.fundraisecapital.co/apply"
In this critical episode of Making Billions, host Ryan Miller and alternative asset manager Larry Kriesmer challenge the core tenets of Modern Portfolio Theory. Larry argues that traditional diversification is broken because supposedly uncorrelated assets become correlated during a market crisis (like 2000 or 2008), leaving investors exposed to unlimited loss.
This interview is essential for investors, fund managers, and financial advisors who must deal with clients in the "Zone of Freaking Out" (ZOFO) during a market decline. Larry explains how his risk off strategy and upfront disclosure keep clients calm, allowing their investments long enough time to perform and achieve long term average returns. The discussion also covers the future of SynthEquity (MRP 2.0) and the possibility of creating products that use leveraged options for even higher potential return against a small, defined drawdown.
