Through our range of products, investors can select funds offering variable sources of alpha and beta, in different combinations, from equity markets around the world.

Marshall Wace has built a robust and scalable global infrastructure. Our strong operational platform, disciplined multi-factor risk control systems and efficient quantitative trading support our portfolio managers in their efforts to maximise the skill-based return delivered to investors. In October 2010, 2011 and 2013, Marshall Wace was recognised as ‘IT Department of the Year - Buy Side’ by the Financial News Awards for Excellence in Trading & Technology.
