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 change — investors must adapt to secular market changes
  • Discipline: We believe markets are complex — investors must impose structured decision-making to manage complex trade-offs
  • Risk and Cost Control: We believe markets are fairly efficient and adding value is difficult — investors must avoid costs and risks that are unlikely to pay-off in the long-run
