About Me
When David Booth cofounded Dimensional Fund Advisors in 1981, he began a decades-long experiment in applying academic theory to real-world investing. His former professor Eugene Fama authored the efficient markets hypothesis, which argues that it's impossible to consistently beat the market. In light of Fama's research, Booth eschewed stock picking and focused on offering investors low-cost, passive mutual funds. Dimensional manages $777 billion in assets, most of which is steered via hand-vetted financial advisors. Booth joined the Giving Pledge in 2018, committing to donate at least half of his wealth to charity.
