Enhanced Indexing: A quantitative, disciplined approach that seeks to add value over a benchmark by systematically identifying and exploiting investor mistakes resulting from human bias. QMA develops rigorous, advanced-generation investment models, based on internal research and external studies on investor behavior, to identify opportunities in both US and global markets.

Value Equity: A disciplined, quantitative approach that seeks to objectively and systematically identify undervalued stocks that have the potential to provide above-average performance as their prices rise to their long-term “normal” values.

Equity Indexing: A risk-controlled quantitative approach that seeks to effectively track the performance of a client-specified benchmark.

Asset Allocation: A quantitatively disciplined approach that allocates clients’ assets among a broad array of investment strategies and seeks to add value relative to a passively managed, customized benchmark portfolio.

Structured Equity: A disciplined, quantitative approach designed to provide customized solutions to client-specific risk-return objectives by synthetically creating desired investment exposures using a combination of derivatives and physical securities.
