UBS Investment Bank’ Equities Research business has announced that UBS Alternative Research has decided to continue the expansion of its existing relationship with Abacus Analytics, a quantitative consulting firm.
Offerings from Abacus include research and consulting services organized around the portfolio management process, models and analytics for alpha generation, risk management, portfolio construction and performance attribution.
Berry Cox, Founder and President of Abacus, observed: “We are looking forward to working with UBS to broaden the range of analytical services that they can offer their clients, particularly equity managers and buyside analysts. With research budgets shrinking, many firms are seeking to outsource some of their R&D and risk management functions. Our expanded relationship with UBS will offer unrivaled access to these opportunities.”
Abacus is a quantitative consulting firm serving the brokerage and investment management communities. The firm’ research and consulting services are organized around the portfolio management process, and include models and analytics for alpha generation, risk management, portfolio construction, and performance attribution.
