AJO
Overview
AJO is an independent, registered investment adviser founded in 1984 by Ted Aronson. The firm is a limited partnership, wholly owned by 20 active principals, with offices in Philadelphia and Boston. They offer benchmark-relative and absolute-return strategies across all market caps, including U.S., emerging markets, and global equities. Portfolios can be long-only or long/short, with the ability to vary tracking error or total volatility. AJO employs a combination of classical security analysis, modern quantitative investment techniques, and keen attention to trading to achieve above-market returns. The firm focuses on asset-rich companies selling at relatively low multiples of earnings, with proven and confident management, earnings and price momentum, and favorable investor sentiment. The firm's investment philosophy centers on disciplined, systematic processes that aim to deliver consistent investment returns to their capital partners. AJO's approach is data-driven, augmented by machine learning, and supported by high-power computing, reflecting their commitment to innovation and efficiency in investment management.
