Random Matrix Theory — cleaning correlation matrices from noise
50k ft — Why care?
Standard correlation matrices treat random noise as valid connections. Random Matrix Theory (RMT) filters eigenvalues to 'clean' the matrix, keeping only statistically significant correlations. The market is 90% noise.
10k ft — Key takeaways
• Most correlations in raw matrices are noise
• RMT filters eigenvalues against theoretical noise bounds
• Clean matrices improve portfolio optimization

The market is 90% noise and 10% signal. 📉
Standard correlation matrices fail because they treat random market fluctuations as valid connections. By applying Random Matrix Theory (RMT), we can "clean" the matrix—suppressing the noise eigenvalues and isolating the dominant market modes.
This isn't magic. It's linear algebra.
