In part one of the interview, Schuller takes us on a journey through modern portfolio construction theory, arriving at the conclusion that markets are not efficient, but adapt to new realities over time. Alpha therefore is only a temporary opportunity, which converts into beta once it has been exploited.

In part two, Schuller discusses the implications of this for fund selection and portfolio construction.
