Portman Square Capital Insights

"Markets change, technology changes, statistical techniques change, but the scientific method does not. Without strict adherence to the latter, a quantitative investment strategy is merely exposing itself to luck. I have delivered this exact message to some of the largest investors in the world and to individuals of humble means saving for retirement. I take great pride in both cases. Luck should not be a factor one is exposed to."

- Jaipal Tuttle, Portman Square Capital
