“Investing is 70% instinct, and 30% homework”
This is no small time hedgie either. He is the founding partner of a $2 billion event driven hedge fund. Reminds us of a great quote from one of our favorite investors, Marc Faber:
“Investing has a lot to do with common sense and personal observations”
We built Covert Analytics to allow investment advisors and portfolio managers to input their views across global capital markets. The framework we initially conceptualized would allow investors to apply a logical methodology to evaluate a varied group of assets, and to see how this methodology would have worked historically.
Here is how we see our platform “mixing” with our great quote:
Your views, our platform
Covert Analytics is a platform, that combined with your views, produces information that helps drive your portfolio management process
Our plaftorm + Your Views = Input for your PM Process
Our platform is not a black box which tells you how to allocate. Our software allows you to input market specific views without the traditional academic mumbo jumbo of forecasting market returns or standard deviations, but instead allows you to build and combine indicators which are consistent with your views. Our proprietary backtest methodology allows you to evaluate how your asset allocation model performs historically, factoring in the portfolio guidelines you set forth, and proposes a recommended asset allocation.
Covert Analytics is a platform which allows you to build dynamic, quantitative asset allocation models that are driven by your expertise, and your views. We are glad our hedgie friend said that, because we could not have agreed more!
