"If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win." The words of nine-time Olympic gold-medalist Carl Lewis resonated with businesses and entrepreneurs opening their doors in the months leading into March 2020. V-Square Quantitative Management LLC was one of those, dealing with an unanticipated global pandemic and an unexpected future. Four years later, and after achieving significant growth, V-Square co-Founder & President Mamadou-Abou Sarr, CIFD goes Inside the NYSE ICE House to reflect on the uncertainty of opening the firm in April 2020, our path to success, and the evolving asset management industry.

Renewed expectations interest rates cuts by the #Fed fueled a rally by the small caps over the first half of July. Will it continue this time? How should investors position their portfolios? This short outlook piece by our CIO Habib Moudachirou, FRM, CIFD, NACD.DC delves into those questions.

Enjoyed sharing my perspectives on portfolio construction with the Pensions & Investments audience and my fellow panelists Laura Payne (Builders Vision) Jennifer Koelle (Illinois State Board of Investment ) and Guy Hopgood (bfinance). Few thoughts: - Enhanced Investment Insights: Understanding Beyond Scores - Avoiding False Equivalencies: While high sustainability scores are promising, they do not automatically predict superior future performance. It's crucial to interpret these scores within a broader investment context. - Causality vs. Correlation: The distinction between causality and correlation is vital. Mistaking one for the other can lead to flawed decision-making and strategy formulation. Performance attribution analysis plays a critical role in refining your decision-making process and selecting the right managers. - Analyzing Primary and Secondary Factors: Understanding the risk factors and primary drivers of returns within your portfolios is essential. Neglecting this can expose you to outsized idiosyncratic risks, potentially derailing expected outcomes. - Monitor, Question, Challenge (MQC): Employ the MQC framework as a rigorous method to assess manager skills, detect potential style drifts, and uncover unintended risk exposures. This proactive approach ensures continuous alignment with your investment goals and risk tolerance. By embedding these principles into your investment strategy, you can enhance portfolio robustness and ensure that your decisions are data-driven and strategically sound.

This approach allows us to navigate the complexities of the market with precision and discipline. - Thematic Approach: Our strategy is designed to capture the value in macro trends that are not yet fully reflected in market valuations.
