Acadian Asset Management was a quant shop before it was fashionable. It began running money on the basis of quantitative analysis in the 1980s. Over time, Acadian evolved from a non-U.S. all-cap equity manager to a global manager. Today, it manages over $86 billion in assets.
John Chisholm, co-chief executive of Acadian, was formerly the firm’s chief investment officer. He said the firm combines a quantitative approach with traditional factor investing (including value, quality, trend, liquidity, capitalization and others) in different types of weightings. Its offerings include Managed Volatility, Long/Short, and Multi-Asset Class strategies.
