The Fund leverages the power of technology and alternative data to systematically source unique alpha opportunities in a diverse global universe of more than 7,500 smaller companies.
The Fund has outperformed its benchmark World Small Cap Index over 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. Knowing more, seeing better and acting faster helps deliver a superior risk return profile.
Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies stands as one of the oldest and largest quantitative investing platforms. They manage over US$1.7 billion in our small-cap strategy.
Because global markets are increasingly theme and trend driven, we use alternative data sources as our lens into company trends that other investors may not be seeing.
Our analysis helps us identify fundamentally undervalued companies. We believe that buying high-quality businesses at a fair price leads to stronger long-term performance.
We recognise that other market participants can provide valuable information to supplement our own analysis. Exploring broader market sentiment helps us gain insight into future performance.
