Our Funds

We offer a broad range of diversified strategies based on a unified set of our underlying principles

Investors should conduct their own analysis and consult with professional advisors prior to making any investment decisions. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment loss. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment process is subject to change.

"Emerging Asset Classes Demand An Active Management Approach"

"Emerging asset markets are primed for an active investment approach as their market size, liquidity and inherent information asymmetry leads to exploitable inefficiencies.

At Van Markl, we give investors access to growing asset classes and add a systematic alpha layer to them - enhancing their absolute and risk-adjusted return profile and helping our clients achieve their portfolio goals."

Uncorrelated Assets: An Important Dimension of an Optimal Portfolio
Alexander

Recently, Dimensional Fund Advisors wrote critically on "liquid alts." They make some good points, but they also draw some odd conclusions that if applied more generally would not be to their or our liking. Besides discussing their piece, below I also review the general rationale behind holding uncorrelated assets - inparticular, equity "factors" held in a long-short manner.
