Hillsdale's experienced team, computer modeling systems and simulation software enable Hillsdale to be a leader in quantitative analysis. Since its beginning Hillsdale has made significant investments in the design and maintenance of its own multiple source databases and the development of state of the art simulation software. Hillsdale's proprietary technologies include:
Hillsdale's specialized quantitative analytical techniques are used to capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace and are essential to the control of risk in all its products. Further, the company's ability to utilize simulation models and extensive databases allows it to develop sophisticated, proven investment strategies and to constantly improve them. The proprietary process of "Gamma Optimization" separates Hillsdale from most of its competitors. Using this process, Hillsdale is able to isolate which factors (among more than 1,500) can be used successfully to create a "gap" between the returns of its long and short holdings. Creating a consistent and predictable gap between long and short holdings is the key to a successful equity hedge product. In this essential way, Hillsdale has separated itself from a large number of hedge fund managers that simply "buy stocks they like and short ones they don't". In addition to controlling risk and return in existing products, Hillsdale's proprietary technologies can be used to design Canadian and U.S. equity funds to any risk/return, correlation or marketing objective. |
