Retrospectives: John Maynard Keynes, Investment Innovator (2013)

unapi

When John Maynard Keynes managed the endowment of King's College at Cambridge University, the actively managed part of his portfolio beat the performace of the British common stock index by an average of 8 percentage points per year from 1921 to 1946. Little wonder that such modern investment giants as Warren Buffett (2013), George Soros (1987, 2011), and David Swensen (2001, 2005) have invoked Keynes in support of their investment beliefs and strategies. However, Keynes' actual investment strategy has been largely unexplored. An almost-complete record of Keynes' stock trading has until now remained dormant in the King's College Archives (Cox 1995), and we utilize this rich resource to reconstruct Keynes' investment decision making.
