Complexity and uncertainty in finance
Morocco’s burgeoning automobile sector is driving the industrialisation of an economy still heavily dependent on agriculture. The country’s auto sector will help push GDP growth up 4.5 to 5 per cent in 2015-2016

Uncertainty in the work of Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406 – 350 years before Adam Smith!!)
االحتكارقوي عند اشتهر مما و
في التجربة و البصرالزرع احتكار أن األمصار
الغالء أوقات لتحينعلى. يعود أنه و مشؤم
الخسران و بالتلف فائدته
ابن مقدمةخلدون

Uncertainty by Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406)
Hoarding
Intelligent and experienced people in the cities know that it is inauspicious to hoard grain and to wait for high prices, and that the profit (expected) may be spoiled or lost through (hoarding)
Muqaddimah of Ibn Khaldun
Part of the uncertainty cannot be captured for prediction – yet can we act in a robust way knowing that we (including Mathematicians and Geeks!) do not know (everything)?

Modern and efficient technology: semi-active tuned mass damper
Tuned mass dampers stabilize against violent motion caused by harmonic vibration. A tuned damper reduces the vibration of a system with a comparatively lightweight component so that the worst-case vibrations are less intense.

Correlations: not intuitive, a source of complexityAn asset by itself may have a high volatility, but because it has a low or even negative correlation with other assets in the portfolio, adding some of the asset to the portfolio may reduce overall portfolio risk. http://www.systemic-risk-indices.com

A robust allocation model
• [0,100%] exposure on each position
• controls exposure to a « naive » momentum factor targeting to reach about 9% growth annual performance
• Monthly allocation from April 2007 to today
