Alpha Capture Position Paper
Discover how responsible Buy-Side Alpha Capture can empower independent managers, optimize allocator outcomes, and advance the next frontier of institutional alpha generation.
A New Era for Responsible Buy-Side Alpha Capture: Building trust, elevating standards, and renewing confidence in one of institutional investing’s most enduring sources of return.
Institutional allocators and independent managers are standing at a crossroads. The landscape for long/short fundamental equity has changed, but so have the tools for generating true, repeatable alpha. CenterBook Partners has spent 5 years developing a platform to unlock scalable, sustainable alpha through collaboration, systematic rigor, and data integrity.
10+ years of proprietary data across 200+ long/short fundamental equity managers and 3+ years of global trading informs a new framework for Responsible Buy-Side Alpha Capture - a model built on transparency, alignment, and shared value creation.
