Large Cap Quantitative Equity Strategy

The strategy seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in large cap companies ($3 billion or more in market cap) with the most attractive earnings growth prospects and valuation characteristics within each sector.

What are the principles that have enabled the strategy to be successful?

Fundamental factor analysis — the team analyzed decades of factor data to determine which factors had the strongest relationship with stock returns. The specific company factors that were most important in driving stock prices in the past were used to develop quantitative models.

Sector-specific quantitative models
— although many of the factors are important across sectors, the degree of importance varies by sector. Models have been developed for each of 10 major industry sectors that weight the characteristics accordingly.

Active management — the strategy does not try to emulate the benchmark. The team believes that the models can build and maintain a portfolio that has higher return potential than the benchmark over time.
