How I Invest with David Weisburd
E162: Why Most Investors Quit Before Winning w/Cliff Asness
09 May 2025
Cliff Asness is one of the most influential minds in quantitative investing and the Founder, Managing Principal and Chief Investment Officer at AQR Capital Management, which oversees over $100 billion in assets. In this wide-ranging conversation, we go deep into what makes a successful long-term strategy, how Cliff thinks about building portfolios, and why most investors misjudge both volatility and leverage. He also shares what it was like launching AQR after his early work on momentum strategies at Goldman Sachs, and what he’s learned about investor behavior across cycles. This is one of the most insightful and entertaining conversations we’ve had on the podcast—and Cliff brings both humor and hard-earned wisdom to the table.
