Versor Investments, a quant investment firm focused on liquid alternatives, has launched the Versor Equity Prism Strategy, which invests in single name stocks and equity index futures across the globe in a market-neutral fashion, to outside investors.
The strategy, which the firm started incubating with partner capital in January of 2022, utilises alternative data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Since its founding in 2014, Versor has employed these technologies, as well as traditional data sources, to identify investment opportunities across global markets. However, Versor Equity Prism places an increased emphasis on the use of Versor’s proprietary methodologies related to these new technologies.
Additionally, Versor is incubating with partner capital a machine learning-based macro strategy. The Versor Macro Sonar strategy invests in futures and forwards across equity indices, commodities, fixed income, and currencies. It utilizes both directional and non-directional signals to best capitalize on the existing macroeconomic environment.
