In 2004, I founded Clear Asset Management, a multi-style equity manager and research firm, with the desire to demystify quantitative investing, provide complete transparency and create a new level of communications with our clients. Our investment process is driven by our proprietary computer-algorithms which are programmed into our multifactor models. These were developed by combining academic research, best practices in investment management and reverse engineering of the holdings of several highly successful value and growth investors.

After working in and around managers for years, I wanted Clear AM to provide institutions, intermediaries and individuals total clarity in the investment process. This is accomplished by explaining in detail why each stock is selected for its portfolio along with publishing company one-pagers on many of the firms we own. Transparency is not just a marketing term nor is it accomplished just by displaying a portfolio, it is an achievable goal through meaningful communications.

We currently manage seven long-only portfolios and recently launched Clear Indexes, which creates and publishes custom indexes that quantitatively measure specific market segments. We develop fund for institutions based on our custom work and manage the portfolios. Our higher public profile work is investment product design. Several ETFs are already available and many wore are in registration based on Clear Indexes.
