Investment Strategies


Small Cap Strategy

Led by Brian Arena, former manager of New Jersey’s $2.5 billion Small Cap Portfolio, this strategy focuses on U.S. listed small-cap stocks. We identify high-potential investments through corporate management engagement, industry analysis, and financial valuation metrics.


Large Cap Value Strategy

Managed by Brian Arena, this strategy builds on his experience overseeing the $80 billion equity portfolio for New Jersey’s public pension fund. It targets U.S. large-cap value stocks, emphasizing strong management teams, competitive industry positioning, and disciplined valuation.


Investment Grade Fixed Income

Led by Art Ernst, who has over 35 years of experience managing fixed income portfolios, this strategy focuses on investment-grade corporate and government securities. We conduct macroeconomic and yield curve analysis to construct a portfolio that balances income generation with risk control.
