Prabhudas Lilladher PMS, the investment management arm of Prabhudas Lilladher Group, has launched a new product, AQUA (Adaptive. Quantitative. Unbiased. Alpha), a quanta-mental equity PMS strategy, which uses quantitative methods with fundamental principles. The company said on Tuesday that AQUA aims to provide investors with a style, sector, size and benchmark agnostic, flexi-cap equity portfolio that dynamically adapts to changing market cycles and investment regimes.

AQUA relies on a dynamic multi-factor approach that blends fundamentals, valuations, macros, liquidity, sector, risk and technical analytics to construct a diversified portfolio of select stocks from the top 500 stocks, it added.

According to Siddharth Vora, Head of Investment Strategy and Fund Manager – PMS, Prabhudas Lilladher, AQUA leverages the synergies of PL’s equity research capabilities and eight decades of investing wisdom combined with cutting-edge technology and the discipline of quantitative methods to ensure repeatable investment outcomes for sustainable outperformance for our investors.

“Quantitative investing is a more sophisticated investment approach because it uses data and a rigorously tested scientific approach to drive investment decisions. We truly believe that if you cannot test the strategy, you cannot trust it," he said
