First Quadrant operates in investment management, pursuing non-traditional approaches to global markets. Its methodology centers on a disciplined, risk-aware process intended to yield steady, long-run results by linking macroeconomic trends with how demand shifts among asset classes worldwide. The firm provides a broad set of strategies aimed at diversification, return enhancement, and risk control across asset categories including macro exposures, currency, commodities, volatility, long-only and long/short equities, multi-asset constructs, tax management, tail-risk protection, and inflation hedging. Its services are delivered to institutional clients on a global basis, spanning pension plans, foundations and endowments, mutual funds, trusts and estates, charitable organizations, private funds, government entities, and foreign governments. Founded in 1988 and based in the United States, the firm is positioned as a smaller to mid-sized provider serving institutional markets. In June 2022, Systematica Group acquired First Quadrant, LLC.
