The Power of Information
In the world of investing, information has always been important. We exist in an age where data is ubiquitous, covering every conceivable topic. Recognizing this, we have made the strategic access, sourcing, validation, and organization of data the bedrock of our operations.
Commitment to Academic Foundations
ITG’s investment strategies are deeply rooted in academic research, focusing on core data science principles. First, basing strategies on sound economic theories and rigorous analysis, with the objective of repeatable outcomes. The approach is disciplined, involving continuous design, testing, and refinement, in an effort to produce consistent and reliable results. The design of each strategy is thoughtful and meticulously integrates quantitative theories into security selection.
Technology Has a Place in Investment Decisions

Innovation is Our Defining Principle
Innovation is the characteristic that defines ITG, and our commitment to continuous improvement is unyielding. We are dedicated to perpetual development, particularly in refining the strategies and services we offer to clients.
Customization
Customization represents the future of investment management. Instead of offering predefined solutions, prioritization in understanding and addressing the specific needs of our clients is paramount. This approach has enabled us to develop a comprehensive suite of tools that we feel effectively addresses the unique priorities of each client.
Understanding Price Dynamics
Prices naturally fluctuate around reasonable estimates of fair value due to the inherently responsive nature of clients. By understanding the variables that influence stock values, we deploy advanced technology we attempt to identify opportunities within these fluctuations. Our systematic strategies are meticulously designed to capitalize on these movements around fair value.
Harnessing Patterns for Strategic Advantage
Patterns derived from nature, such as the growth sequences of plants and the spirals of shells, have long inspired design and architecture. Similarly, companies, stocks, and indices exhibit discernible patterns. We feel that our ability to recognize and program for these patterns provides a strategic perspective in markets.
Clients Care About More Than Just Returns
While generating strong investment returns remains a key goal, many clients want to align their investments with their institution’s values. For these clients, growth is not the only priority, which requires a different approach to achieve alignment. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their specific objectives. Our commitment to customization extends to every aspect of our operations, ensuring that investments reflect the core of the institution’s mission.
Risk Management
Investing inherently involves risk, but our mission is to comprehensively understand and control it to the extent possible. A systematic, rules-based approach incorporates layers of risk management with the intent limiting strategies to the volatility associated with the relative benchmark. This approach provides the oversight needed to perform efficiently.
Empowering Clients
A dedication to democratizing access to research and technology-driven strategies, empowering clients to pursue and achieve their financial goals.
A Vision for Exploration
Our business is intrinsically forward-looking, requiring both meticulous planning for the immediate future and a visionary outlook for the long term. We are committed to continuously exploring new opportunities and addressing emerging challenges in the ever-evolving investment landscape.
