Who We Are
Who We Are
We founded SmartBe because we saw an opportunity to bring previously exclusive investment strategies to Canadian investors. The smart beta revolution has democratized quantitative investing in the USA and it's coming to Canada too. SmartBe is at the forefront of this change. Our team pioneered factor investing when it was first introduced at the turn of the millennium. Through education combined with behavioural coaching we have built a strong track record of achieving realistic outcomes for our clients by investing with factor models.
We have the great fortune of partnering with leading state-side pracademics to run the algorithms. Our choice to manufacture our fund as an ETF was due to the many rich features for investors. At SmartBe we strive to bring the best investment strategies to Canadians and we are working hard to become the premier quantitative investing boutique in Canada.
Our belief: Robust data makes powerful decisions possible, while poor-quality data guarantees ineffective decisions. The gold standard of data and information is found in academia, where it is forged in the rigorous process of peer review. That’s why we work with pracademics; they are a much-needed bridge between real world practitioners and academia.
