Thought Provoking Books and Essays

At Simplexity Investment Management we strive for very broad sourcing of ideas in the pursuit of your investment goals and objectives. Many of the more influential books, essays and journal articles we have read and studied come from fields well beyond economics, finance and investing and include mathematics, the physical, life and social sciences, engineering, and history. Below is a sampling of these (more will be added over time):
