Our Advantages

Quantitative and Qualitative Research & Analysis
We believe a disciplined process – rooted in rigorous quantitative analysis and combined with thorough qualitative research – drives competitive performance. Manager considerations are comprehensive and holistic including people, philosophy and process, operations, business model, analysis and compliance.

Investment, Operational and Compliance Due Diligence
Our integrated due diligence process extends beyond investment research to include an extensive and continuous review of each manager’s operational and compliance practices and procedures as well as the firm’s diversity and inclusion philosophy.

Active Monitoring and Risk Management
Proactive risk management is at the core of our principles and processes. We seek to appropriately position and size managers for meaningful contribution and complementary risk/return profile with other managers. Our daily position transparency enables effective oversight and understanding of risk exposures.

A Disciplined Multi-Manager Investment Approach

Active integrated due diligence, thoughtful portfolio construction and comprehensive risk management overlay.
