LCAI manages the relationship with CAI to support marketing and servicing of investors in Australia, reporting on the relevant investment and operational matters.

CAI is a quantitative investment management firm that specializes in systematic global equity strategies including market-neutral, long-only and passive enhanced variations through the application of a proprietary machine learning algorithm.

We believe that scientific investing can better produce consistent, repeatable, risk-adjusted performance for investors.

CAI brings together a deeply experienced, global investment team providing investors the opportunity to invest into a best-in-class global equity investment solution. CAI specialises in providing global alpha solutions, delivered through combining a unique set of predictive factors and advanced machine learning resulting in highly differentiated quantitative solutions.

Approach

The fundamental pillars that underpin our investment philosophy and ensuing processes are as follow:

  • We adhere strongly to the tenets of active management;
  • We believe history repeats due to the persistence of investor behavioural biases;
  • Separating signal from noise contributes to more successful forecasting of returns;
  • Scientific investing and the application of Machine Learning is the basis of our forecasting processes;
  • Domain expertise is key to successful quantitative based investing;
  • Research and Development is advantageous in a competitive and technologically advancing world.
