International Strategies
The LMCG International strategies are based on a disciplined quantitative process that seeks to add value primarily through stock selection. The stock selection model capitalizes on market anomalies that can be exploited to generate excess returns. Critical to the strategies are proprietary portfolio construction techniques, the use of proprietary risk models and a dynamic investment process that employs tactical shifts to ensure optimal exposure to alpha factors.
Investment Team
The International team is led by Gordon Johnson, PhD, CFA. Gordon joined LMCG in 2006 from Evergreen Investments where he was the portfolio manager for several quantitative equity products. Gordon is joined by Vikram Srimurthy, PhD, CFA, and Shannon Ericson, CFA. The three worked together for six years at Evergreen where they were part of a team that managed $4.5 billion in global disciplined equity products. Gordon and Vik were instrumental in the development of quantitative stock selection models for both U.S. and international equities. Shannon worked closely with Gordon on new product development as well as the portfolio management for a variety of existing disciplined investment products. At LMCG the team has expanded its research and portfolio construction abilities to implement proprietary risk models for each investment strategy. The team offers EAFE Small Cap and Emerging Markets strategies to clients.
