Investment management platform designed to help fundamental managers Be Better.

About us

Portfolio management is the balancing act of ensuring idea quality and position size are highly correlated while adhering to risk and exposure constraints. Alpha Theory was built by a fundamental hedge fund analyst that wanted a better way to translate the firm’s high-quality research into a high-quality portfolio. Two decades later, the results prove that better discipline leads to better returns. Alpha Theory is a leading portfolio management and decision process improvement platform for global investment managers. It gives investment teams a framework to fully leverage their research and outside data streams to efficiently size positions and identify uncaptured alpha in real-time to drive performance. Alpha Theory clients work hand-in-hand with an experienced team of process improvement experts and have access to specialized data scientists who provide data-driven insights to optimize performance. Today, over $100B in assets are managed on the platform. For more information, please visit www.alphatheory.com.

    While both probability and confidence are expressed as percentages, they are distinct concepts that play a crucial role in forecasting. As explained in our blog, "The Difference Between Probability and Confidence," would you rather bet on a coin flip with known odds or draw from an unknown bag of poker chips? Both have the same risk-adjusted return, but confidence in the known probability makes a difference! At Alpha Theory, our clients learn how to navigate these concepts to inform better position-sizing decisions and improve investment outcomes.

    CEO & Founder | Helping Investment Managers Optimize Their Position Sizing Process

    As I examine the equity management landscape, it’s striking that 80% of equity managers over the past 10 to 20 years have underperformed! In my latest blog, I discuss how a disciplined, rules-based approach to position sizing can help turn the tide for active managers.   At Alpha Theory, we emphasize the importance of adopting a systematic approach. If a rules-based approach to position sizing is followed, even a small 2% improvement could put most active managers ahead of passive strategies.   I encourage you to explore these insights and discover actionable steps for active outperformance.
