Acadian

Acadian Asset Management is a global, systematic investment manager. Founded in 1986, Acadian is head-quartered in Boston, with affiliates in London, Singapore, and Sydney. We find our edge in the convergence of talented people, rich data, and powerful tools – all underpinned by a collegial culture with an ardent appetite for continuous research and healthy debate.

Building on the idea that markets are inefficient, we were among the first firms in the world to apply data and technology to the systematic evaluation of global investments. With over 35 years of data-driven insights, we manage equity and credit strategies intended to deliver active returns and alternative strategies designed to deliver absolute, uncorrelated results. Our sustainable investing capabilities provide a platform for both client-specific solutions and a cutting-edge approach to engagement.
