Systematic Equity Investing

There have been recent incidents of individuals and groups falsely claiming to be associated with AQR on social media platforms. These imposters have engaged in a variety of unauthorized conduct, including soliciting customers to carry out trading activities with them, impersonating AQR using the genuine names of AQR senior executives or employees to offer investment opportunities, claiming to offer investment training courses that are supposedly provided by AQR or claiming that AQR is backing certain initial coin offerings or is otherwise engaged in crypto related trading activity. There have also been fake websites and mobile applications that claim to be AQR (or associated with AQR) when in fact they are not. These are scams and not authorized by AQR in any way.

Overview

What is Systematic Equity Investing?

Systematic equity investing is a repeatable, data-driven approach that relies on quantitative models to identify opportunities across a broad selection of stocks. At the core of this approach are “signals”, which are rules-based implementations of an investment philosophy (common examples include mispricing and quality-related signals). Over time, systematic equity investing has evolved, leveraging new technology and advanced methodologies.

AQR's Approach to Systematic Equities

AQR has managed alpha-seeking equity portfolios since our inception in 1998. The breadth of research and innovation at AQR continues to enable more sophisticated analysis and deeper insights into market inefficiencies and investor behavior. Our broad range of recent initiatives includes the application of machine learning techniques, including natural language processing, and the utilization of less traditional datasets. These efforts have resulted in a significant expansion of our signal set and enhancements to the weighting of our signals.
