Process/Philosophy

“All Stocks will go bankrupt, and all stock picking strategies will fail…” That is the going in assumption behind Darwin, our quantitative model for portfolio management. This assumption implies a mathematical model that manages to risk. As a by-product of managing risk, can you achieve higher returns than the S&P 500? Darwin strives to do this via an “evolutionary” approach where assets compete for allocation in a portfolio, akin to players vying for selection in a sports team. However, once assets are included in the portfolio, they work together to achieve the goal of winning. By increasing allocation to better performing players and reducing allocation to weaker players, Darwin is designed to reward consistency and prioritize lower risk-taking in pursuit of returns.
