Numeric Investors L.P. in Active Trader Links Directory

Numeric Investors LLC was founded in 1989 by Langdon Wheeler, CFA. Established upon Wheeler’s prior work - that earnings estimate revisions were an effective method to forecast stock returns - the Estrend model was created to take advantage of this inefficiency in the market. In 1991, the Fair Value model was created to identify mispriced stocks that were selling at prices different than their fundamentals suggested. Furthermore, Estrend and Fair Value were found to complement each other because they identified different stocks as attractive (for different reasons) and because the market tended to favor one approach or the other at different points in time. In 2000, the Quality of Earnings model was added to analyze the aggressiveness of a company’s accounting practices. Combining the three models’ insights broadened a portfolio’s characteristics and increased the power and consistency of Numeric Investors LLC’s investment returns. Beginning with a single strategy and $40 million under management in 1989, Numeric Investors LLC has grown to utilizing five primary models with varying emphases in more than 20 different strategies, in the U.S., Japanese, and European stock markets. As of April 1, 2007, the firm was managing $14.3 billion in assets.
