ABOUT US
Quantitative. Systematic. Tactical.
QST is a San Francisco–based investment management firm specializing in multi-asset, tactical portfolio management. We believe that actively mitigating downside risk is the foundation to providing our investors with not only stronger absolute and risk-adjusted returns, but also with a more reliable path to achieving them. We employ advanced financial modeling to identify opportunities and underlying risks that exist within liquid financial markets and the broader macroeconomic landscape.
The firm was founded around a relentless pursuit for building industry leading investment strategies designed to generate positive asymmetrical risk/return profiles within a robust risk framework.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The largest sources of alpha lie in the efficient reduction of unnecessary risk exposure
We seek to generate exceptional risk-adjusted & absolute returns for our investors and believe to do this we must first and foremost understand and efficiently reduce exposure to unnecessary risk, particularly during periods of market crisis. We build models designed to identify and forecast these events and actively monitor our risk exposures to take advantage of favorable investment conditions.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
QST is a leading tactical investment firm that focuses its efforts in two distinct investment approaches. Each strategy is built upon deeply researched quantitative methods designed to manage risk and enhance returns.
Hedged Tactical Equity
Tactical rotation between growth and defense with active hedging overlay
QST employs a tactical investment approach designed to capitalize on rising equity market conditions while systematically shifting into defensive positions as the risk of a protracted market drawdown becomes elevated. To manage short-term market pullbacks, it will tactically hedge long positions.
Cross-Asset Hedging
Principal protection style structure aimed at providing investors with equity like upside returns with the risk profile of investment grade bonds.
A multi-asset strategy composed of derivatives and fixed income instruments aimed at providing upside participation in equity markets within a principal protection style structure. Positions are strategically structured to provide multiple levels of capital preservation while still offering strong growth opportunities.
