Gregg S. Fisher founded Gerstein Fisher in 1993 and is responsible for the management and
oversight of the firm’s investment strategy and portfolio management, as well as spearheading
the firm’s many research projects on areas of study that have included momentum, valuation and
analyst growth models, and global investing.
Gregg developed the proprietary Multi-Factor® investment strategies that the firm continues to
employ today to construct globally diversified portfolios with tilts toward risk factors that historically
have rewarded investors in the form of higher returns.
Gregg founded Gerstein Fisher* in 1993 based on a vision of offering a quantitative investment-management approach
grounded in sound economic theory and more efficiently implemented through technology. Today the firm embodies
that vision and continues to reflect Gregg’s commitment to ongoing research and quantitative, factor-based investing.
In 2009, Gregg established the Gerstein Fisher Research Center, whose mission is to investigate critical issues in
finance and risk faced by investors through pioneering research that bridges the gap between academic theory and
real-world practice. Through the Center, Gerstein Fisher partners with leading academics in the areas of finance,
risk engineering, and economics to research topics that have included investor behavior and its impact on market
and investor returns, the phenomenon of momentum in both domestic and international equity strategies, and the
replication of hedge fund returns through more liquid, transparent investment strategies. Several of the Center’s
studies have been published in academic and industry journals including The Journal of Wealth Management, Journal
of Investment Management, The Journal of Investing, Journal of Financial Planning, and Risk and Decision Analysis.
