Objectivity
Based on the belief that statistical techniques can be used to extract all the relevant information needed to make accurate forecasts, systematic investing removes the influence of emotion.
Our Systematic Edge
Systematic investing uses advanced technology to gather and analyse large volumes of company data to identify mispriced assets and investment opportunities. While economic intuition informs the basis of an investment idea, decisions on portfolio construction, implementation, and risk management are systematic, backed by research, and empirically validated. This helps to ensure a repeatable, consistent, and sustainable approach over market cycles.
