Analytic Investors
Analytic Investors manages over five billion dollars in assets
for institutional and mutual fund investors in the United States,
Canada and Japan. Our Los Angeles-based firm offers a variety of
investment products including U.S. large cap core equity, U.S. market
neutral equity, hedged U.S. equity, Japan long/short equity and
launching soon, a Canadian market neutral strategy. In Canada, Analytic
Investors is an investment partner on the Integra Global Advisor
platform.
Analytic Investors specializes in state of the art quantitative
investment management techniques. We practice an investment philosophy
which brings together the best attributes of individual security
selection and unbiased portfolio modeling, yielding a management
style that is both disciplined and responsive. Our rigorous security
analysis is made possible only by the dramatic advancements in computing
power. The human mind is incapable of processing the myriad financial
data that are available today about stocks, bonds, and markets,
but with the assistance of four unique, proprietary financial models,
Analytic portfolio managers can filter the wealth of data available
and identify key quantitative information that supports a disciplined
approach to security selection.
We believe that the market price of every security is determined
by a number of changing factors that can be measured and anticipated.
In fact, if it can't be measured, we don't consider it. Our valuation
process enables us to examine literally dozens of financial measures
across virtually every sector of today's domestic and international
capital markets. Our multi-factor approach seeks to consistently
produce value-added results over a market cycle. In contrast, traditional
strategies that focus on a single style or factor and are subjective
in nature are fraught with emotional reactions and the biases of
analysts' forecasts that overlook or underestimate other important
factors at work. In the end, our investment philosophy can be characterized
by three core principals that differentiate the firm as an asset
manager:
- Responsiveness: We believe markets changeinvestors
must adapt to secular market changes
- Discipline: We believe markets are complexinvestors
must impose structured decision-making to manage complex trade-offs
- Risk and Cost Control: We believe markets are fairly
efficient and adding value is difficultinvestors must avoid
costs and risks that are unlikely to pay-off in the long-run
