We are dedicated to pursuing ideas and innovation to capture investment opportunities that are overlooked, misanalysed, or simply lie beyond the scope of conventional financial analysis. Over time, pools of unresolved factors develop in these analytical blind spots. Free to bubble beneath the market’s radar for a time, they leave few traces in conventional risk metrics such as VAR, scenario analysis, and extreme value modelling. These unresolved factors are destined to pop-up somewhere, surprise investors, and trigger price asymmetries which include unanticipated stock/sector revaluations, yield curve shifts, and volatility spikes.All of which represent deep pools of alpha for those ahead of the game, and our long-term track record is based upon capturing them.
