Martingale’s active return strategies seek to add value by emphasizing fundamentally undervalued companies while closely managing risk relative to the underlying market index. From large cap to small cap, we have decades of experience managing portfolios across the size spectrum, including core, growth and value mandates. We also offer several short-extension strategies (130/30) that allow for more meaningful underweighting of the least attractive stocks.
Large Cap
Martingale has considerable experience managing strategies relative to various large cap indexes, with the earliest strategies commencing in 1987.
Investment Process*
These strategies emphasize fundamentally attractive companies. Stock selection is emphasized through a risk-aware portfolio construction process designed to provide consistent size and style exposure, while limiting sector and industry exposures.

130/30
Short-extension, or 130/30, portfolios enable more meaningful underweights of the least attractive stocks. Proceeds from the short sales (typically 30%) are invested in additional long positions, bringing the portfolio beta back in line with the market. Having managed long/short portfolios since 1991, this innovative structure is a natural fit for Martingale.

These strategies emphasize fundamentally attractive stocks, while underweighting or shorting fundamentally overvalued stocks. Stock selection is emphasized through a risk-aware portfolio construction process designed to provide consistent size and style exposure, while limiting sector and industry exposures.
*Investment results are not guaranteed, and there is no guarantee that a strategy’s objective will be met. Investing in securities involves risk of loss of both income and principal that investors should be prepared to bear. Long/short investing can be riskier than long-only investing, since both the long and short sides can simultaneously lose value.
