Nomura Growth and Income Fund employs a systematic large-cap value approach using behavioral finance and proprietary signals in an effort to generate consistent income and capital appreciation with strong risk-adjusted returns while minimizing downside surprises.
Data driven
An investment approach which is backed by data, seeks to remove emotional biases inherent in stock picking
Systematic edge
Systematic process evaluating stocks through diversified signals seeks to optimize risk-adjusted returns and reduce negative surprises
Alpha generation
Aims to consistently deliver returns in excess of the benchmark through various market conditions
Emotions influence investor behavior and create systematic opportunities for alpha generation.
Systematically identifying and seeking to exploit these emotional biases that create market inefficiencies drives the investment approach.
Methodical conversion of psychological patterns into disciplined investment signals aims to transform investor irrationality into consistent alpha generation.
Leveraging data and technology to identify attractive opportunities by collecting millions of data points weekly, seeking to convert data into proven investment signals that identify opportunities and manage risk, and systematically combining these signals to construct optimized portfolios.
Removing human behavioral biases through quantitative methods aims to deliver consistent outperformance through small, deliberate adjustments that compound over time.
Broad diversification across market conditions maintains portfolio resilience while the systematic approach adapts to changing environments.
