The Adaptive Markets Hypothesis (AMH) reconciles rational investor behavior with periods of financial insanity by presenting a new narrative that emphasizes the competitive, innovative, and adaptive nature of financial markets. It develops mathematical foundations and applies them to explain fundamental economic behaviors through natural selection, and explores how our brain affects economic and financial decision-making. The AMH can be applied in various contexts to design trading strategies, manage risk, and promote financial stability.

The Adaptive Markets Hypothesis (AMH) offers a comprehensive and systematic exploration of a novel perspective on financial markets, harmonizing rational investor behavior with periods of temporary financial irrationality. Within this narrative, intelligent but fallible investors acquire knowledge from and adapt to dynamically changing environments. While financial markets may not always exhibit optimal efficiency, they remain highly competitive, innovative, and adaptable, exhibiting varying degrees of efficiency as investor populations and the financial landscape evolve over time.

Andrew Lo and Ruixun Zhang establish the mathematical underpinnings of the AMH, comprising a straightforward yet remarkably potent set of evolutionary models of behavior. Through the application of these foundations, they demonstrate how the most fundamental economic behaviors we assume can emerge solely through natural selection. Furthermore, the book delves into the influence of our brain on economic and financial decision-making, drawing upon recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

The AMH possesses broad applications across various domains, including the development of trading strategies, risk management, comprehending financial crises, and formulating macroprudential policies to foster financial stability. This volume is an essential read for individuals who have been perplexed and concerned by the behavior of financial markets and its implications for their personal wealth, aiming to gain insights into the most effective strategies for responding to such behavior.
