Empiric institutional

Empiric Institutional specializes in factor research and in the portfolio management of systematically-driven global equity portfolios.

At Empiric Institutional, the founding partners have worked together since 2007. Gabe, Mark, and Loren bring very distinct yet synergistic attributes to the firm, having diverse backgrounds to each other. The team is dedicated to the research, portfolio implementation, operations, regulatory compliance, and client servicing required to provide high quality active management to investors. We value hard work, self-motivation, and continuous professional improvement.
