Eugene Fama – A Life in Finance | #455
The Meb Faber Show - Better Investing
The AUM on Former Students Now Managing Assets in the World?
"You have to really be aware because you get one guy like Putin who runs the whole country. So it all depends on what he does and what the people were around him," Fama says. "I wonder who has generated the most progeny slash assets as like a parent of the family tree?" He thinks there are at least two that probably add up to over a trillion dollars in AUM.
Today’s guest is the legendary Professor Eugene Fama, a 2013 Nobel laureate and widely recognized as the “father of modern finance.”
In today’s episode, we talk to Professor Fama about whether he thinks the Fed can control inflation, where the phrase efficient markets came from, and his take on the global market portfolio. As we wind down, we hear the last time he bought an individual stock.
