Global equity
Investment strategy
The 1741 Equity Systematic US Fund is a long-only, US equity Fund that follows a
quantitative investment approach. According to the most prevalent financial theory –
efficient market hypothesis and modern portfolio theory – the US equity market is
correctly priced. In other words, no investor should be able to consistently outperform the
benchmark. However, a plethora of academic research suggests there are a variety of
market anomalies – and it is these that the 1741 Equity Systematic US Fund seeks to
exploit. In order to achieve its objective, the Fund focuses its investment on the most
attractive stocks in each sector within the MSCI USA investment universe. The
attractiveness of a stock is assessed using a quantitative evaluation based on value, quality,
and alternative momentum criteria. In order to actively manage relative risk, the Fund
strives to invest sector-neutral versus its benchmark. Absolute risk is reduced by weighting
securities according to their level of risk.
