"We cannot get return without taking risks, but we can get risk without getting expected returns. So, you know, that's really the master insight of modern portfolio theory." - Victor Haghani-------------------------------------------------------------------  I had the pleasure of speaking with Victor Haghani, the insightful author of "The Missing Billionaires." Our conversation was a lively journey through the concepts of investment strategies and personal tales. Some of the central themes discussed in the conversation included: 

The concept of "missing billionaires" and why so few families have been able to maintain and grow their wealth over generations since 1900.

The challenges of active investing and beating the market returns.

The importance of balancing risk and return in investment decisions.

Approaches like active index investing that aim to capture the benefits of both active and passive investing.

Factors that contributed to many wealthy families losing their fortunes over time like inappropriate risk levels and inconsistent risk/spending decisions.
