About Us

Ben Warwick founded Quantitative Equity Strategies, LLC (QES) as a platform for developing trading strategies that would be unbounded by conventional thinking. His objective was to create an investment process that could change with market conditions and be both robust and flexible over time.

Today, QES has more than $425 million in assets under advisement for a variety of clients, as well as more than $165 million in hedge fund assets under management. As thought leaders in the alternative investment industry, our principals frequently contribute to trade publications including Bloomberg Wealth Manager Magazine and Investment Advisor magazine and participate in investing conferences. We also provide consulting services on a limited basis.

Our Approach
Dispersion Trading and the various unique components of our flexible Strategy Suite are based on a set of core principals that guide everything we do:

Simplicity: Occam’s Razor – the belief that simpler explanations are inherently better than more complicated ones – is a cornerstone for our research methodology. By always seeking the most elegant solution, our Strategy Suite attempts to achieve a high level of robustness and a smooth return stream.

Quantitative Emphasis: The increasing complexity of global market relationships and influences demand an objective, disciplined approach to investment management. In response, QES has developed a rigorous quantitative methodology to identify, test, and implement trading strategies. The result is a reliable, robust, highly defined investment process that does not rely on opinions or subjective interpretations of fundamental data.

Innovation: Success depends on the ability to constantly diversify sources of alpha and thus distance oneself from the competition. Our loyalty is not to our strategies, but to the methodology that creates our strategies. By encouraging a culture of constant innovation, we make it our goal to create an edge that can be sustained far into the future.
