Client: Kindred Capital

As the former #1 Institutional Investor (II) ranked Chief Investment Officer at Morgan Stanley, Steve Galbraith made his career espousing the value of combining quantitative and fundamental philosophies. But when he left Maverick Capital to create Herring Creek Capital, he left behind one of the most efficient, effective, expensive and technologically rich environments on Wall Street.

Within the portfolio, we noticed short interest spiking ahead of an earnings event for one of our shorts, on the EDS event tracker. We ran a cross-sectional study, and quickly saw how much of an outlier it really was. No other names with similar metrics (margins, growth, leverage) traded at such a high multiple – and even peers were trading at half the multiple. We super-sized the short and the stock was down 20% on the print. In the months that followed, the stock was down another 30%.

Client: Sanders Capital

An equity manager with approximately $75 billion in Assets Under Management. As a value-driven investor focused on identifying market over-reaction (loss aversion), research and analysis are critical to the execution of Sanders’ strategy, and over the years of our work together we’ve endeavored to optimize the ways our services deliver data, reliability, and consistency so that the investment team can focus on strategy.

ESG | Professional Services

Northern Trust and EDS brought real insight into how digitization could drive value. Together, we transformed one of our most cumbersome functions into a best practice model for our broader investment process.

Large Tiger Cub

The fund chose a high performance, real-time, easy-to-use and configurable Risk Management solution from EDS – implemented with precision, quickly and affordably. It was built around their vision and investment process, streamlining workflows, providing valuable feedback, and supported by a highly experienced team of former investment professionals and quantitative analysts.

Risk Management | Portfolio Construction | Research Management System

As a multi-billion dollar spin, out of a $60B tier one fund, we found EDS’s solutions uniquely scalable, efficient, and flexible. Despite having resources to build in-house, EDS expedited our market entry aligning with our strong risk management principles.
