Emerald Asset Advisors uses a diversified, multi-manager approach that seeks superior returns independent of market conditions. They offer an alternative to classic stock and bond portfolios that uses no-load or load-waived mutual funds and may also use ETFs, global REITS, shorting credit, emerging markets, stocks, options or other completion strategies. Emerald employs both top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis, quantitative analysis and technical analysis in their selection process. They offer 3 distinct strategies: hybrid, concentrated equities strategies and global cycle. Emerald's hybrid strategies offer low volatility and low correlation to the broad markets. Emerald uses mutual funds, ETFs and other traditional, highly-liquid investment vehicles that employ hedge fund-like strategies. They seek to deliver a competitive risk-reward profile as compared to absolute return hedge funds, as well as traditional fixed-income strategies. The strategy has a horizon of 3 years or more. Its themes include long/short equity, market neutral equity, merger arbitrage and convertible securities.

This strategy has a time horizon of 5 years or more. Its themes include contrarian value, high ROE growth, sector rotation and multi-cap.
