Prior Experience
Prior to forming Alpha Neural Networks (ANN), Ms. Pearson designed, built, and implemented several models and investment methodologies that are still in use by institutional portfolio managers, traders, and investment analysts today:
- Stock Selection
- Risk Analysis
- Portfolio Construction
- Portfolio Forecasting
- Hypothesis Testing
- Name and Dollar Turnover Analysis
- Alpha Generation
Tapping Into an Unfilled Niche
Relative neglect of the quantitative idiosyncrasies of Asia Pacific markets has created a situation in which:
- Western financial market analysis techniques are inappropriately applied in Asia Pacific markets.
- Consequent research products deliver sub-standard investment results.
ANN's expertise is in customising the "generalist" quantitative techniques that are often unsuccessfully applied here into unique tool sets that fit the distinctive characteristics of the Asia Pacific markets.
Financial professionals in the Asia Pacific regions are universally familiar with the necessity of comprehending financial movements in the context of market fundamentals. ANN's command of the unique interaction between fundamental and quantitative factors in our region enables it to create robust models that "make investment sense". Gratuitously complex "Black Box" models have no place at ANN because they ignore the many fundamentals and movement patterns that make our distinguish region.
Long Term, Consistent Out Performance Broadens Traditional Client Base for Quantitative Products and Services
The long-established efficacy and implementability of ANN's products and services has widened our client base to include fundamental portfolio managers, fundamental analysts, and traders -- along with quantitative analysts and portfolio managers. While our methods are rigorous, they are elegantly presented such that they are easy to understand, work with and implement. Traditional quantitative analysts are drawn to the robust quality of our models. Non-quantitative professionals are drawn to the ease and implementability of our products and services. The largest draw for our products, however, is our long history of out performance.
