Strategy

We apply modern data science tools to an expansive set of traditional and alternative data sets, with the goal of generating attractive returns.

Relative Attractiveness

Our process combines features from traditional and unstructured data to ranks stock relative attractiveness.

Wisdom of the Crowds

Ensemble methods harness the power of multiple models, each casting their vote, to produce more accurate and less biased forecasts. Effectively smoothing out individual noise.

Model Evolution Over Time

Our data-driven investment approach adapts and evolves with the market environment.

Investment Capabilities

Our proprietary stock forecasts dating back to 2003, cover over 12,000 public equities which allows us to customize strategies across countries, regions, cap ranges and risk targets.

Equity Extension

Our Equity Extension strategies are designed for investors seeking higher risk and return targets while still delivering beta 1 versus a benchmark. Extension strategies are expected to achieve higher information ratios as a result of being able to exploit inefficiencies on both the long and short side.

Strategies Offered

  • Europe Equity Extension (150/50)
  • World Equity Extension (150/50)

Long Only Equity

These strategies seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns relative to their benchmarks while exhibiting low exposure to systematic risk premia.

Strategies Offered

  • US Small Cap
  • International Small Cap
  • World Small Cap
  • Country Specific Portfolios

Absolute Return

The Global Equity Market Neutral strategy seeks to deliver positive absolute returns that are independent of global equity markets. The strategy seeks to extract returns from markets across multiple regions, countries and market capitalization-ranges.

Strategies Offered

  • Global Equity Market Neutral
custom strategies are also available
