OVER TWO DECADES OF INNOVATION THAT TRANSLATE TO RESULTS FOR CLIENTS.

First Quadrant investment strategies derive from an ongoing search for ways to profit from market inefficiencies. To implement these strategies, we adhere to a process that traverses a dynamic, but familiar, cycle of goals, challenges, and management solutions.

 

 
THE GOAL > Deliver to our clients as stable an excess return as possible by exploiting recurring fundamental market inefficiencies.

THE CHALLENGE > Market inefficiencies are inherently unstable. They come and go, changing shape, size, and duration. They cycle through phases of profitability and unprofitability. Some inefficiencies disappear never to appear again.

FQ’S RESPONSE > Build as much breadth into the opportunity set as possible. Respond tactically to the changing landscape. And innovate relentlessly to keep the opportunity set alive.

This response separates us from our peers and maintains our competitive edge.
