Philosophy

We believe equity markets are inefficient and dynamic due to investors’ behavioural biases and structural anomalies, which can be objectively and systematically exploited over the short to medium term. We believe that the best way to exploit these biases is using a multi-factor quantitative investment process that is dispassionate and treats all information consistently. Our approach avoids emotional decision-making and focuses on objectivity, repeatability, diversification, risk control and implementability. As the factors driving share prices change through time, investment processes must be adaptive.
