The Symphony Optimized Alpha strategy seeks to produce returns in a variety of market conditions without the risks associated with shorting stock. The construction process seeks to reduce absolute risk by combining stocks with certain characteristics such as low correlation while utilizing risk controls such as industry weight.1

Symphony Asset Management believes that investment success requires a disciplined process, blending the best of sophisticated quantitative analysis with the clarity of human insight and thorough risk management processes. Given the dynamic nature of the equity markets, they believe there are always pockets of inefficiency where market segments and individual securities are mis-priced. Through their multi-step research processes, they try to identify and exploit these areas of mis-valuation with their capabilities in returns forecasting and risk management.
