Masters in Business: Cliff Asness, CIO & founder of AQR Capital Management

This week, the “Masters in Business” radio podcast features Cliff Asness, the founder and chief investment officer of AQR Capital Management.

Asness and his team manage $120 billion at AQR. They are quants, applying mathematics to market data and making evidence-based investments across a range of asset classes.

In a far-ranging, 90-minute conversation, Asness discusses everything from value to momentum to the small-cap effect to the Efficient Market Hypothesis to how and why markets can be irrational. He details what it was like to be part of the Quant Flash Crash of 2007. If you are remotely interested in what financial quants actually do, Asness gives a graduate level seminar on quantitative investing.
