No free lunch: is a science of the stock market possible?
Complex systems and econophysics are intriguing and expanding fields of research that in time may lead to new signals to be incorporated in our investment model, say Amadeo Alentorn, Lead Investment Manager, and Matus Mrazik, Investment Manager, overseeing the academic research programme, Jupiter Merian Global Equity Absolute Return strategy.
There is an analogy between magnetism and social conformity. The opinion of each market agent (represented by squares within the grid in the animation) is affected by the opinions of his or her neighbours in the network, as well as by an external influence such as news. Due to noise or uncertainty, some agents may change their opinions and create local regions of dissent.
The value of active minds: independent thinking
A key feature of Jupiter’s investment approach is that we eschew the adoption of a house view, instead preferring to allow our specialist fund managers to formulate their own opinions on their asset class. As a result, it should be noted that any views expressed – including on matters relating to environmental, social and governance considerations – are those of the author(s), and may differ from views held by other Jupiter investment professionals.
