Sub Index - Market Neutral Systematic

Systematic market neutral are those managers looking to isolate stock-specific alpha by buying securities with ‘positive’ attributes and selling securities with ‘negative’ attributes generally inferred through statistical analysis, while neutralising portfolio exposure to idiosyncratic (via portfolio diversification) and market risk (via residual hedges). Within this category, there is also a rather small cohort of managers applying price-based, trading orientated arbitrage techniques to exploit technical anomalies that can derive from changes in liquidity conditions, volatility, etc.
