Active Quantitative Equity (AQE) Strategies

Benchmark-aware strategies with incremental alpha potential and tight active risk control.

Investors who wish to avoid meaningful deviation from the benchmark can use AQE Enhanced strategies to limit active risk yet still leave potential for alpha. These strategies can help investors get more from their core allocations, or they can serve as a complement to other, more risky satellite allocations.

Benchmark-aware strategies with higher alpha potential.

Investors seeking an approach targeting higher alpha may benefit from AQE Active strategies, which seek to outperform the benchmark over a full market cycle with a higher active risk.

Benchmark-unaware strategies with alpha potential and total-portfolio risk management.

Investors seeking to maximize returns while minimizing losses may benefit from AQE Defensive strategies, which are characterized by a dual risk and return mandate. Not constrained by benchmark indexes, these strategies strive to maximize alpha potential, while managing total portfolio risk.
