What Acadian Asset Management does

Quantitative asset manager running systematic equity strategies for institutional investors, spun out from BrightSphere Investment Group.

Charges fees as a share of client assets managed, plus performance fees when it beats benchmarks, so earnings follow client assets and market levels. After the former BrightSphere sold its other asset managers, Acadian became the whole company, and the holding company has taken its name.
