Andrew Lo Biography
Andrew W. Lo is a world-renowned economist and financial scholar whose evidence-based frameworks make him a strategic partner for leaders looking to understand market behaviors, modern investment strategies and leveraging artificial intelligence tools in the world of finance. The Director of the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering and a principal investigator at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Lo’s expertise extends beyond traditional finance to apply economic theories to health care, investing and even leadership.
The award-winning author of “In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio,” and the bestselling “Adaptive Markets,” Lo’s latest focus is exploring how generative AI can extend human ability in financial advising, making good human advisors into great ones with the help of AI. A pioneer at the forefront of the conversation, he’s working on a large language model, a “robo-advisor,” that would not only provide domain expertise for investing but also customize advice and earn trust from clients.
Highly sought for his action-oriented strategies, business executives across sectors depend on Lo for his expert analysis of investments in today’s ever-changing worldwide markets.

Andrew Lo Speaking Topics
Is it possible to build an ideal portfolio, one that perfectly balances risk and reward? In this talk, world-renowned MIT economist and financial scholar Andrew Lo, director of the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering, shares profound insights he learned from the world’s most prominent figures in the finance world, whom he profiled in his latest book “In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio.” He covers such areas as effective diversification, passive versus active investment, security selection and market timing, foreign versus domestic investments, derivative securities, nontraditional assets, irrational investing, and more. Acknowledging that the perfect portfolio is ultimately a moving target based on individual age and stage in life, market conditions, and short- and long-term goals, he explains why the fundamental principles for success remain constant in spite of changing market conditions.
“Finance can be tremendously powerful when used properly, but it can be a dangerous weapon if incorrectly applied,” warns world-renowned MIT economist and financial scholar Andrew Lo, director of the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering. Drawing from his deep research, he discusses his framework for quantitatively measuring the financial reward, or cost, of impact investing, including socially responsible investing (SRI) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Using real world examples, he illustrates how the framework can be applied in such diverse areas as biotech venture philanthropy, “sin” stocks, ESG and “meme” stocks like GameStop.
Nonprofits routinely shoulder the burden of raising funds to fight diseases like cancer and many other life-altering or life-threatening diseases. But what drives corporate investment in potential cures? Profit or purpose? Drawing from his ongoing research, world-renowned MIT economist and financial scholar Andrew Lo, director of the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering, discusses the most pressing medical challenges of our time, why so many potential innovations and cures lack funding, and the ethics of drug pricing policies. Inspired by his own family struggles with gaining access to cancer treatments, he highlights the urgent need to bridge the gap between science and finance and explains how health care institutions, drug companies, vaccine makers and biotech founders can improve patient outcomes as well as their bottom lines by letting science drive investment—not vice versa—so that everybody wins.
