Challenges for active portfolio management
Our work is based on the conviction that there is no such thing as perfectly efficient financial markets. That is why a well-thought out, structured investment process can generate sustainable excess returns compared to a passive investment. Active portfolio managers are facing new challenges through a growing investment universe and the scope and variety of information available today, in conjunction
with the sheer velocity of global dissemination of information.
For this reason, we believe that the manner in which information is processed – rather than the search for information itself – is the crucial success factor today. For more than a decade, we have been committed to developing quantitative investment strategies that strive to master these challenges.
Our investment approach
Our investment approach is fundamental. Quoniam’s investment decisions are always based on fundamental intelligence: the difference is in the use of models and methodology designed to analyse information objectively, in a disciplined manner, and in a historical context. Our approach gives us an additional competitive edge, since it enables us to analyse an investment universe of any size on a daily basis. As a result, our portfolios are always broadly diversified, comprising numerous small, actively-managed positions. Recognising market dynamics, we constantly adjust the methods we apply. We are also aware that maintaining our competitive edge requires permanent research and innovation.
