U.S. Equity Strategy

The GMO U.S. Equity Strategy seeks to generate high total return by investing primarily in U.S. equities. The Strategy’s benchmark is the S&P 1500 Index.

The Strategy’s investment approach is grounded in the Systematic Equity team’s belief that, in the short term, equity markets exhibit exploitable inefficiencies as a result of irrational investor actions, the imperfect flow of information, and the participation of non-economic actors, while in the long term returns are ultimately driven by economic reality. The Strategy aims to take advantage of this inefficiency by utilizing a multi-factor valuation model in conjunction with other methods, such as cross-asset signals and corporate alerts, to identify mispriced equity securities.
