Our investment philosophy has been shaped by decades of academic research. We believe public markets are efficient. That means you can't beat the market via stock-picking or market timing. We believe that active management practiced by traditional stock pickers is futile, if not an absurdity.
But it doesn't mean you can't beat the market.
We add value by building portfolios that target higher expected returns in a cost-effective manner. Through a dynamic investment process that integrates research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading, we manage the tradeoffs that matter for performance - balancing competing premiums, diversification, and costs.
