In recent years, there has been a rise in the popularity of systematic investment techniques. This is largely a result of drawbacks from more traditional discretionary approaches. A few common drawbacks include a lack of investment discipline and transparency, human biases, and an absence of automated systematic processes that lead to limited scalability across assets, asset classes, and geographies. To address these roadblocks, a sound investment approach needs to provide firms with an automated, end-to-end solution that takes the investor through key steps of the investment process and is free of human judgment or bias.
