Portfolio Managers of the Adviser
The Adviser utilizes a team-based and integrated approach to its investment management process, including strategy development, research, portfolio implementation, risk management and trading execution. The Adviser's investment decisions are based on quantitative analysis of a specified universe of securities or other assets. This quantitative analysis relies on proprietary models to generate views on securities or other assets and applies them in a disciplined and systematic process. The Adviser's research, portfolio implementation and trading teams supervise the day-to-day execution of these models and continuously research ways to enhance their efficiency. Senior portfolio managers oversee this process while junior portfolio managers and portfolio implementation specialists provide appropriate oversight of the day to day details of the Fund's portfolio.
Each of the portfolio managers listed below is a member of the applicable portfolio management team that oversees the Adviser's investment management process for one or more of the investment strategies employed by the Fund.
