Acadian MAARS: Distinguishing Features
Acadian’s Multi-Asset Absolute Return Strategy (MAARS) is a systematic global macro strategy designed to generate absolute returns regardless of market conditions. A defining tenet of the underlying investment philosophy is that the challenge of delivering on that objective – finding and extracting truly diverse sources of return and constructing portfolios that can endure severe market stress – requires a sophisticated investment process and ongoing commitment to its continual enhancement. It is unrealistic to expect simple and static approaches to deliver enduring alpha.
