Cap Six Advisors today announced the appointment of Dana Erikson as Executive Vice President, Portfolio Analytics. In this role, Erikson will provide strategic oversight of portfolio performance and positioning, with a focus on attribution analysis, cross-portfolio monitoring, and targeted research to enhance the firm's proprietary data models. He will also play a critical role in driving the continued development of Cap Six's technology and analytics across asset classes.
"Dana brings a unique blend of portfolio management experience and technical expertise." said Jeff Jorgensen, Chief Investment Officer of Cap Six. "His background in credit, multi-asset strategies, and performance analytics will be instrumental as we expand our SMA platform and continue delivering transparent, data-driven solutions for our clients."
Prior to joining Cap Six, Erikson was a Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Brookfield Asset Management, where he managed $1.5 billion in fixed income strategies. I leveraged my investment experience and Rachel Gilbert brought in an extensive set of operations skills and entrepreneurial DNA.
Leveraging our years of investing and asset management experience, we decided what to keep, what to change and how to deliver the best product to the end investor. We then collaborated with the amazing team at P3 Adaptive to scale those ideas and turn them into the investment platform we have always wanted. It is now better than we imagined; we have invested in five initial strategies and we are just getting started.
We have taken Abraham Lincoln's quote, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe," to a whole new level and have spent the time and money needed to create "best practices" from idea generation to day-to-day management of our stock selection and risk management.
I will be posting more in the future about our process, investment philosophy and strategies.
