BUSINESS

Founded in 2020, Divergent Asset Management LLC (DAM) is an asset management firm headquartered in New York City. DAM is the investment adviser for Divergent Global Events Fund LP, our flagship investment fund centered on events-driven strategies. We believe in forming long term partnerships with our investors, and in conservative growth.

INVESTMENT

Our alpha derives from anticipating and taking advantage of the price impacts caused by market players trading with uneconomic objectives. We trade index rebalances, corporate actions, and macro events in equity markets around the world. We hold a market neutral and highly diversified equities portfolio that turns over with medium frequency. We believe in a hybrid model of fundamentally driven idea with clearly articulated rules that allow for systematic execution and backtest validation.

  • Driven by Rationale
  • We adopt a rationale-driven instead of black-box approach in looking for alpha. A strong rationale ensures our edge is explainable, and is the best guard against overfitting. It also allows us to detect regime changes in a timely fashion that might render our signals obsolete.
  • Validated by Data
  • Most reasonable ideas are not profitable the market. Empirical evidence is crucial in validating investment thesis. All our trade ideas are rigorously tested in and out of sample with historical data in our backtest engine.

  • Systematic
  • We focus on repeatable events that allow us to bet again and again on the same idea. This allows us to formulate clearly articulated rules on how to trade them, and enforce discipline in following those rules.
