NinePointTwo Capital
Independent. Research-driven.
Est. 2018
Los Angeles, CA
NinePointTwo Capital was founded in 2018 by Timothy Streufert and Joseph Malhas to give investors direct access to the leading edge of quantitative investing.
The investment industry has long operated in two distinct ways. Many wealth managers focus on conventional asset allocation or build portfolios by selecting from third-party managers. Institutional asset managers, the investment firms with deep research infrastructure and technical capabilities, focus primarily on generating returns and serve large institutions. The two worlds rarely overlap.
NinePointTwo Capital was built to occupy the space in-between. Every strategy the Firm offers, from quantitative long/short to wealth management to tax-aware investing, is built and managed in-house. Clients work directly with the team who run the strategies, with no intermediary managers and no layered fees.
- Alternatives: Encompassing our quantitative long/short and other alternative strategies.
- Investment Management: Tailored investment solutions for high-net-worth clients and institutions.
NinePointTwo works with individuals, family offices, and institutions as a direct investment partner across the full scope of their liquid investment needs.
Investment Philosophy
The guiding principles behind every decision we make.
- 01
Quantitative Rigor
Our models are built on years of research and empirical work. We continuously research and implement new tools, from machine learning to alternative data. We combine quantitative analysis and rules-based systems to craft our strategies.
- 02
Fundamental Grounding
We believe successful quantitative investing requires a fundamental foundation. Every strategy we've crafted, no matter how quantitative, traces back to well-documented economic rationale and must be robust across various market cycles and geographies.
- 03
Risk-First Approach
We believe risk management is where portfolio construction begins. NinePointTwo utilizes a proprietary risk model to help manage risk across the board, from our quantitative long/short strategies to our wealth management portfolios.
- 04
Independence
NinePointTwo is a founder-owned firm with no outside shareholders and no product mandates. There are no competing interests that shape our views or constrain our decisions. As a fee-only fiduciary, our only obligation is to our clients.
