Investment Discipline
First Quadrant specializes in equity and global macro management, including
asset allocation and absolute return strategies, on a global basis. Employing a
highly disciplined, risk-controlled approach designed to deliver consistent,
long-term results, the firm adds value by assessing relative valuations across
major segments of the portfolio: among asset classes, across global markets,
among equity styles and in currency allocation.
First Quadrant focuses on the following product areas: global macro; large,
mid, smid and small cap equity management; extended equity management;
tax-advantaged U.S. equity management; currency and option strategies; and
absolute return strategies.
