Harry Markowitz

OFF THE MARKOWITZ

Economist Harry Markowitz has died aged 95. His main economic legacy was β€œmodern portfolio theory”, which promoted the idea of diversifying one’s assets in an investment portfolio. He postulated that including a mix of risky and safe assets was sounder than putting all your eggs in one basket. So riveting that he might as well have been a Survivor contestant. He won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 and was a unique pick for Death Is International.
