What Is Systematic Investing?
In today’s uncertain markets, we all need more targeted investment outcomes.
By combining the power of data-driven insights, investment science, and disciplined portfolio construction to modernize the way we invest, systematic investing is unlocking new ways to seek specific outcomes amidst a world of unpredictability.
Systematic investing begins with data-driven insights.
In the digital age, we have access to vast amounts of data, from traditional sources like company financial statements and economic reports to more complex unstructured sources like company news stories, web traffic, social media sentiment, consumer geo-location data and even satellite imagery.
By harnessing highly sophisticated analytics techniques like machine learning and artificial intelligence, we transform this sea of raw data into useful investment information—providing insights faster, at greater scale, and with more granularity than traditional methods.
Next, we deploy rigorous scientific testing to learn if these investment insights actually have the potential to help forecast future returns.
This process includes a comprehensive examination of empirical evidence by seasoned investment experts—testing different combinations of variables and comparing the results to known outcomes. This ability to validate insights means portfolio decisions are firmly evidence-based on not dependent on human conviction alone.
Finally, when an insight is shown to be valuable, we employ a disciplined portfolio construction process to implement it. Our investment experts use computers to model the many complex trade-offs involved—finding a balance between expected return, risk, correlation, and cost—to guide any allocation decisions.
At every step, the systematic process is designed to help deliver more targeted investment outcomes.
Whether it’s seeking risk-managed growth through equities… generating income and maintaining ballast with bonds… or accessing new sources of diversification and return with alternative strategies…
Systematic investing is unlocking new ways to navigate a world of uncertainty.
