Acadian Asset Management is a quantitative, investment manager. Founded in 1986, Acadian is headquartered in Boston, with affiliates located in London, Singapore, and Sydney. We specialize in the active management of systematic investment strategies. Led by a strong team whose deep foundational roots extend back to the firm’s inception over 30 years ago, we apply a disciplined framework to a broad universe and focus our extensive research capabilities on developing customized investment management strategies on behalf of our institutional clients. We predominately manage multi-factor long only equity strategies that look to incorporate fundamental investment views in a robust way. Our strategies can be accessed by UCITS, offshore vehicles or separate accounts.
We incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations in our investment process as return-seeking and risk-mitigating factors. Acadian became the first quantitative manager to sign the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) in 2009, demonstrating our recognition of the importance of these issues. Additionally, Acadian employs an ongoing engagement program with its holdings and works alongside third party organisations with the objective of creating a meaningful and responsible impact.
