Welcome to SciVest

SciVest brings together both science and investing – in our name and in our portfolio management.  We use quantitative analysis and mathematical optimization to create dynamic hedge fund portfolios.

Founded in 1999 as a single strategy firm, SciVest has grown to become a multi-dimensional international fund manager.  SciVest provides core and specialty equity, fixed-income and alternative investment solutions through a variety of funds and separately managed accounts to individual and institutional clients around the world. 

Our original strategy focused primarily on North American markets, but as the firm grew, additional markets with expanded mandates have been added.  Now, SciVest has investments in most of the developed world.  We will continue to seek new sources of alpha and capitalize on market inefficiencies to generate enhanced risk-adjusted returns over the long term.
