About the Investment Engine

Our core mission as an organization is to understand the fundamental drivers of markets and turn that understanding into high-quality portfolios and investment advice for our clients.

We do this in three critical ways : by being fundamental, systematic, and diversified. We seek to understand the economy in a fundamental way, uncovering the timeless and universal cause-and-effect linkages that drive global markets.

That understanding is implemented systematically and converted into explicit rules that can be rigorously stress-tested.

Finally, we create highly diversified portfolios that are not dependent on any one source of return and can survive a wide range of economic environments.
