(b) Description of Advisory Services
The Adviser offers investment advisory services on a discretionary and nondiscretionary basis to its clients, which include
individuals and institutions with separately managed accounts, registered investment companies, and pooled investment
vehicles intended for sophisticated investors.
The Adviser invests client assets in large-cap equity securities (i.e., securities issued by companies, each with a market
capitalization that is greater than approximately the 70th percentile of market capitalization in the Adviser-defined
universe) that are publicly traded primarily, if not exclusively, on U.S. securities exchanges. The Adviser also invests in
mid-cap equity securities (i.e., securities issued by companies, each with a market capitalization of between $1 billion
and $20 billion) of companies that are primarily listed on the S&P 400 Midcap Index. In managing the client assets, the
Adviser takes long positions, short positions, or leveraged long and short positions using its hybrid quantitative and
fundamental investment process. That process is generally
stock-specific and sector-agnostic, which may, at times, cause
certain client portfolios to have significant exposure to a specific sector. The Adviser also manages a client account that
seeks to replicate performance of a specific index. The Adviser’s advisory services are subject to any investment
management agreement or other agreement that sets forth the scope of the Adviser’s discretion.
The Adviser also participates in certain platforms, that use the Adviser’s investment strategy models to manage their
client accounts. These platforms have developed an investment management program whereby their clients will allow
them to trade their assets pursuant to the Adviser’s investment strategy models. The Adviser grants these platforms a
non-exclusive license to use the Adviser’s investment strategy models for these purposes.
For more information on the Adviser’s investment advisory services, see “Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss,” below. All investment strategies are available to those types of investors described in “Item
7 - Types of Clients,” below, through separately managed accounts held by banks, broker-dealers, and other types of
financial institutions.
(c) Availability of Tailored Services for Individual Clients
Client accounts generally are managed in accordance with each such client’s investment advisory agreement with the
Adviser, or in the case of a client that is a collective investment fund, the collective investment fund’s offering materials
and other constituent documents. Investors in a collective investment fund have no opportunity to select or evaluate
any fund investment or strategy.
