At Curio, we aim to do what’s right for the people we serve, and that starts with a philosophy rooted in clarity, research, and shared purpose. That’s why we’ve chosen to work with Dimensional—partners who align with our values and bring decades of evidence-based investing to the table. Rather than reacting to the noise, we focus on what we can control and what’s likely to make a difference over time. If that approach resonates with you, this short film might be a meaningful next step in exploring how we invest.
Set in the halls of the University of Chicago during the 1960s, Tune Out the Noise tells the story of a group of economists and thinkers whose data-driven approach challenged Wall Street’s long-held beliefs. Instead of following stock tips or chasing performance, they focused on academic research—discovering that well-diversified, rules-based portfolios could reduce costs, minimize emotional decision-making, and open the doors to investing for more people.
Through conversations with Nobel Prize-winning economists like Eugene Fama, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton—as well as key figures in the rise of Dimensional Fund Advisors—the film highlights how ideas once considered unconventional became the basis for a more rational, investor-focused approach. It’s also a reminder of how innovations like index funds, which many now take for granted, grew out of this disciplined mindset.
At Curio, we align closely with this philosophy. We believe real progress comes from a long-term perspective and a commitment to principles that stand the test of time. That means prioritizing what we can control—like risk, costs, and behavior—and helping clients build portfolios around evidence, not speculation. If you’re curious how this philosophy can shape your financial future, we’d love to start that conversation with you.
