First Quadrant is first and foremost an investment firm – focused steadily on achieving investment success. We're specialists, with a business profile that is relatively unique.

BOUTIQUE-SCALED > We’re large enough to manage a broad and diverse product range, but small enough to respond quickly to opportunities.

NIMBLE > Investment opportunities and investment risk can shift quickly. We must be flexible and agile in our response.

FOCUSED > We only work in the areas of equity and global macro. That is what we’ve always done.

GLOBAL > Clients in N. America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

We have the fortitude to stand alone, to resist the pull of the investment fad and trend. Some of our most profitable investment decisions take place during periods of market dislocation…precisely when other investors are battening down the hatches.

As we look back on over two decades of management, our vision for First Quadrant is to continue to grow as an efficiently managed specialty shop providing consistent alpha and high-touch service.
