William of Occam
William of Occam, born 1288 in Ockham in Surrey, England, and who died on 9 April 1347 in Munich, was a famous medieval philosopher and theologian. He was considered one of the learned scholars of his time and was active in the Franciscan order.
Today, he is most remembered for the development of Occam’s Razor, which is also known as the principle of parsimony. This principle says that if there are several equivalent theories for any phenomenon, the simplest option is usually correct. A theory, in this context, is considered simple if it consists only of a few variables and has hypotheses that are linked in a clearly logical way.
As a critical thinker, he fell out with the pope and took refuge in the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria, where he become his adviser. William of Occam served as an inspiration for the creation of William of Baskerville, the main character of Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose. A film based on this novel featured Sean Connery as William of Baskerville.
At finccam, we apply Occam’s principle of parsimony consistently across the various areas of investment management.
