Since 2012, DSC Quantitative Group has developed products and solutions that provide global investors with efficient access to the same risk and return characteristics as traditional PE and VC investments. We have forged exclusive relationships with Thomson Reuters/Refinitiv and Cambridge Associates, leveraging their data to deliver a rigorous quantitative framework for replicating private markets. Our replication products, which include indices and alpha strategies, offer investors a complement to their traditional private investment portfolios, with lower fees and greater liquidity.My background includes extensive experience in the alternative investment space, with particular focus on developing and launching complex products in a variety of different investment “wrappers,” such as LPs, mutual funds, UCITs, and structured products. I previously developed the investable hedge fund index (HFRX) for Hedge Fund Research (HFR) and founded a venture-backed internet exchange operation focused on creating unique online trading markets for non-security products. Prior trading and capital markets experience included roles at Koch Industries, JP Morgan, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). I founded DSC as a sophisticated product development and asset management company with the goal of synergizing my trading experience with an exceptional academic foundation, one which has been using sophisticated econometric techniques and machine learning for many years. The DSC product development team includes world-class academics, such as Professors Ravi Jagannathan PhD and Bob Korajczyk PhD from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern, as well as Professor Grant Farnsworth PhD from TCU. Their work underpins our rigorous research, analysis, and modeling, and distinguishes us from other players in the alternative investment space. Overall, our entire team across R&D, Operations, Technology, and Administration is talented, high-performing, and tight-knit, and deeply engaged in our mission to offer distinctive and value-added investment solutions. It’s a privilege to work and collaborate with them each day.
