On-screen question: How do you maintain an alpha edge in markets?
Simply put, deep human expertise and cutting-edge technology.
We live in an increasingly digital world. When you look at all the data available, 90% of it has been generated over the last two years. [Source: Dihuni, data as of April 10 2020]
This is everything from wi-fi beacons to credit card purchases, to online activities.
While a single data point might not be interesting, in aggregate, it starts to tell a story.
We utilize diverse market expertise and data-driven investment process to separate potentially valuable signals from the noise. This leads to potentially innovative insights that seek to forecast trends and help make active moves ahead of the pack.
We believe that better and more differentiated investment insights from new data and new techniques are becoming necessary conditions for investment success.
Our mission is to deliver consistent, differentiated, alpha. Sourcing alpha opportunities has always required an investment edge–which is becoming more difficult to achieve and maintain in a hyper-informed world.
We believe staying ahead requires three key characteristics:
Seek insights not yet reflected in markets
Maintain an information edge as insights decay
Constantly reflect the current opportunity set
Our approach to systematic investing goes beyond data and technology. Human intellect is central to investment decision-making. Just as our process has evolved over time, so has the human expertise involved in these efforts. This multi-disciplinary foundation is seen as a key source of strength and differentiation.
