Marquis Listee Commentary: The Power of Combining AI Momentum with Quantitative Analysis for Equity Managers

"Success in business can be obtained by identifying and exploiting inefficiencies in the competition," says Mr. McHugh.

When asked to elaborate on his unique perspective and approach with clients and advisors, he says, "Our portfolios are benchmarked against specific indexes, which we view as our competition. To outperform, we target inefficiencies in the static composition of these indexes. Simply put, our AI Momentum strategy identifies companies with the strongest upward price movements, which are then validated through quantitative analysis to ensure these movements are supported by positive earnings sentiment. This enables us to invest in and hold long-term outperforming companies while eliminating underperformers from our portfolios. This disciplined approach drives the ongoing and future success of our strategies for clients and advisors."

AI Momentum provides a cutting-edge way to identify opportunities. By analyzing mountains of data — from stock prices and trading volumes to news and sentiment — it pinpoints trends and stocks with high potential. The key is this: raw AI insights on their own can't always be trusted blindly. That is where quantitative analysis steps in, acting as the necessary safety net to verify the reliability of these insights.

What is even more impressive is how this combination helps navigate uncertainty. Markets change rapidly, and AI tools are designed to adapt just as quickly, learning from new data and market shifts. With quantitative analysis confirming the effectiveness of these adjustments, portfolio managers can confidently pivot their strategies without hesitation.

Ultimately, this synergy benefits Mr. McHugh's clients by delivering potentially more consistent and reliable investment outcomes. It is not just about the technology or math — it is about instilling confidence. Confidence that client portfolios are managed with cutting-edge precision. Confidence that risks are carefully evaluated and mitigated. Confidence that every decision is backed by robust analysis and a forward-looking approach.
