Thomas Kraus

Kraus Partner is an active manager which utilizes quantitative methods exclusively to manage their funds, combining different quantitative models in order to minimize model risk and maximize risk adjusted returns. The firm employs an in-house strategy called 'active style selection' to dynamically weigh different selection styles such as value, momentum or earnings revision depending on the economic environment. Kraus Partner has developed jaive, their purely quantitative decision support tool for the top-down allocation of more than 400 asset classes. The tool supports tactical investment decisions by tracing the markets back to their driving fundamental forces, evaluating the return potential of each asset class is evaluated against the backdrop of the current economic environment and its individual risk profile. Their purely quantitative analysis is based only on objective economic indicators and is therefore free of any human judgment.
