TDI Podcast: Alpha Quest (#646)

Clare Flynn Levy, CEO of Essentia Analytics explains best practices for achieving alpha. We explore indexing, passive and active investing.

Habits – especially bad ones can be changed as long as we have prompts and knowledge of our investing process.

We also cover markets, news and updates on the week.


Prior to founding Essentia, Clare spent 10 years as a fund manager, both active equity (running over $1bn of pension funds for Deutsche Asset Management) and hedge (as founder and CIO of Avocet Capital Management, a specialist tech fund manager). She ultimately ‘went native’ into the software space as President of Beauchamp Financial Technology, a market-leading provider of portfolio management systems to hedge funds, which was acquired by Linedata Services S.A. Clare’s vision for Essentia is based on years of being the customer, followed by years of listening to the customer.
