Strategies

The Canadian equity multifactor strategy is the product of three quantitative equity components:

• A component with low volatility, which stands out in bear markets
• A component with equal weight, which brings stability to the portfolio
• A component with momentum, which stands out in bull markets

With this strategy, Optimum Asset Management can offer diversified value added sources by using stock market concepts that go against the principles of modern financial theory but are still applied in the equity market. Whatever the market trend, this dynamic asset management strategy is able to favour performance.
