Our Team Spring '24
1/5
We are a student-managed, multi-strategy investment fund at Emory University, currently managing over $150,000 of the university’s endowment. Our Fundamental Investments Division focuses on fundamental research in U.S. equities, and our Quantitative Investments Division develops and implements quantitative investment and risk models for our portfolio. We actively trade across L/S equity and equity derivative strategies.
Our focus is idea generation. We research, identify, and invest in buying and selling opportunities created by incremental changes in the market. We take a differentiated viewpoint against the consensus, continuously asking “why” until we uncover grassroots evidence for our catalysts. We dedicate ourselves to consistency, creativity, and mentorship, and foster an active and intensive learning environment, valuing the importance of diverse thoughts and backgrounds.
Division Summary
Quantitative Investments
The Quantitative Investments division of Algory Capital is responsible for managing the fund's risk, in addition to building new models to generate alpha. Risk is managed using a combination of well-studied models, such as hierarchical risk parity, to inform our allocation decisions, and diversify our fund while hurting our returns as little as possible. We also have a number of alpha generation projects, including models for factor investing, pairs trading, and recession prediction.
Fundamental Investments
The Fundamental Investment division of Algory Capital focuses on selecting U.S. equities investments for our fund. The division is organized into a pod structure, with portfolio managers covering different vertical and strategies, including but not limited to special situations; L/S generalist; technology, media, and telecommunications; consumer retail; industrials; and real estate. We aim to generate superior risk-adjusted returns through our in-depth fundamental analysis and our data-driven approach.
Operations
The Operations division of Algory Capital is responsible for organizing the club effectively and creating an open and welcoming community. Operations does this by having socials, speaker events, and even getting out into the community through volunteering. Operations also tracks attendance, sends emails, organizes files, collects feedback, and everything else related to keeping the club running smoothly.
Marketing
The Marketing division of Algory Capital oversees all marketing related functions. The division plans, creates, and distributes marketing materials such as posters, fliers, and yardsigns on campus. We also manage the club's social media pages and maintain the website. We aim to promote club events to current and potential members and ensure a professional club image.
