About Us
Our Investment Philosophy
Central to our culture is a rigorous, research-based investment philosophy that seeks to both understand and challenge the economic underpinnings of investment strategies, and to separate durable profit opportunities from historical happenstance.
Our History
From hedge fund benchmarks to ETFs: we’ve spent nearly three decades pioneering alternative benchmarks and advancing process-driven investing.
