Extended Alpha

The overall objective of the Extended Alpha Equity (“EA”) strategy is to construct an actively managed, risk controlled, core portfolio that takes long positions in companies that are attractively valued and exhibiting the likelihood to meet or exceed earnings expectations, and takes short positions in companies that are significantly overvalued and experiencing deteriorating fundamentals. Our performance objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation by outperforming the S&P 500 Index.
