Our Systematic Edge

Systematic investing uses advanced technology to gather and analyse large volumes of company data to identify mispriced assets and investment opportunities. While economic intuition informs the basis of an investment idea, decisions on portfolio construction, implementation, and risk management are systematic, backed by research, and empirically validated. This helps to ensure a repeatable, consistent, and sustainable approach over market cycles.

Key benefits of a systematic approach

Objectivity

Based on the belief that statistical techniques can be used to extract all the relevant information needed to make accurate forecasts, systematic investing removes the influence of emotion.

Discipline

An evidence-driven decision-making process focuses on different factors and signals that we believe drive share prices.

Balance

Our systematic process allows us to build portfolios that address and meet multiple objectives.

Our Process: People, Data, Clarity

Our scientific approach to funds management is driven by systematic techniques and rigorous research. We believe an investment process that applies the best of human thinking and computational power will deliver superior long-term investment returns. This strong combination of systematic and fundamental insights underpins CCAT’s proven investment process.
