Extension Strategies

Extension strategies are a form of high-conviction investing. These strategies allow for limited shorting of securities and can produce higher risk-adjusted returns with the same amount of invested capital and net market exposure as long-only strategies.

Managed Volatility Strategies

Finance theory suggests investors should be compensated for holding riskier stocks with higher average returns. However, risk is mispriced and stock returns have been unrelated to their risks over a long history. Our pioneering research builds on the premise of a market return with less risk by seeking to add excess return through stock selection while limiting any exposures not central to risk reduction.
