Discover the world of alternative investments and how they can potentially boost your portfolio’s performance. Historically, these investments were the domain of institutional investors, who for years have used them to lower risk without sacrificing returns, thanks to low return correlations with traditional assets. Now, explore the growing accessibility of alternative investment return exposures available to everyone. From hedge funds and real assets to private equity and beyond, learn how these previously exclusive strategies are becoming increasingly available.

The Formal Foundations of Intelligent Economics
This episode, the fourth of a four-part series, discusses the appendices from a book that introduces a new scientific framework called Intelligent Economics, which posits that complex, persistent systems like economies evolve to minimize their total computational cost, a principle termed the Sorter's Law. Appendix A meticulously details the formal foundations of this theory, deriving the Lagrangian—the instantaneous computational cost—from three irreducible components (Predictive Error, Model Complexity, and Update Cost) and establishing the emergence of the four MIND Capitals (Material, Intelligence, Network, and Diversity) as necessary assets for long-term persistence. Appendix B establishes a deep, structural isomorphism between Intelligent Economics and the architecture of modern Generative AI systems, translating core economic concepts into their direct counterparts in machine learning, such as equating the economic Loss Function with the AI training process. Finally, Appendix C functions as a practitioner’s guide, providing a detailed MIND Dashboard with specific, measurable indicators for assessing the vitality of a civilization, company, or individual by moving beyond traditional metrics like GDP.
