Applied InvestmentScience is a company that specializes in developing quantitative investment tactics through its AI SCI™ technology, which automatizes rule-based electronic investing in highly liquid options. The company's primary focus is to build, manage, and market high-capacity investment strategies with the aim of delivering risk-managed returns. Their proprietary, dynamic, statistical, non-linear probabilistic framework underpins a rigorous process of advanced scientific-based research to create better systematic investment management, designed to outperform in both bullish and bearish markets.
The business utilizes technology to identify investment risks and targets high-capacity funds with mass appeal, capable of scaling into multi-billion dollar funds without the usual capacity limits of alternative strategies. The strategies employ long-only, non-leveraged compositions without the use of derivatives to minimize risk, with an annualized turnover of approximately 50% and managed for tax efficiency.
Furthermore, the weighted selection of securities in their strategies is based on the assessment of the security’s fundamental value and additional criteria, allowing for growth potential determination. The company offers targeted high-capacity strategies, including core, growth, and value versions of prominent indices like the S&P 500, R 1000, R 2000, R 3000, MSCI EAFE Large, MSCI Emerging Markets, and the S&P 500 Sectors. Their Bloomberg Symbols are AI SCI U.S. Large Cap (AISUSLG) and AI SCI U.S. Large & Mid Cap (AISUSLM).
Founded in 2015, Applied InvestmentScience operates in the Finance, Financial Services, and Fintech industries. While specific headquarters and recent investments are not disclosed, the company’s focus on cutting-edge technology, risk management, and scalability positions it as an intriguing prospect for potential investors in the finance and fintech sectors.
