DSC Quantitative Group Announces Investment Strategies that Track Cambridge Associates Benchmarks

• The first strategy will seek to track the Cambridge Associates Global Private Equity & Venture Capital benchmark
• This strategy builds on a decade of DSC’s experience in replicating private markets returns, but is the first to track a Cambridge Associates benchmark

DSC Quantitative Group (“DSC”), a research-focused alternative investment firm that provides quantitative solutions, today announced a new platform of planned investment products that seek to provide returns that track certain Cambridge Associates (“CA”) benchmarks. The first of these, the “DSC CA Global Private Equity & Venture Capital Strategy”, will seek to provide investors with returns that track global buyout, growth equity, and venture capital returns, but in a liquid form.

Drawing heavily from DSC’s decade of experience replicating illiquid assets with liquid securities, and proven across numerous market cycles, the new DSC strategy provides investors access to broad private equity-like exposure and can be used to mitigate single manager and vintage risk, with lower overall fees than traditional private equity investments. In addition, the strategy seeks to minimize downside risk while still allowing for enhanced returns through the systematic implementation of a volatility control model. Finally, the strategy intends to deliver flexibility to investors seeking liquidity and an ability to customize as needed.

“There is strong demand from investors for private equity strategies that simultaneously offer diversification, ‘beta-plus’ returns, and liquidity,” said DSC Chief Executive Officer, Arthur Bushonville. “DSC is a leader in private equity replication products and CA is a leader in private investing. Our ability to incorporate CA’s aggregated, industry-level benchmark data into our portfolio construction process allows DSC to create a unique platform of products.”

Andrea Auerbach, Global Head of Private Investments at Cambridge Associates, added: “Increasingly investors are seeking more flexible, liquid portfolio management solutions that complement—but that cannot easily be provided by—direct investments in private equity funds; for example, a holding place for capital committed to private funds but not yet called, or providing private equity exposure to the wealth market. We think DSC’s approach may offer a solution to some of these challenges.”
