THE PARAMETRIC DIFFERENCE

At Parametric, you won't find market pundits or star stock-pickers, but you will find creative, thoughtful people who build and apply advanced technology to help achieve investment goals. A Parametric investment solution is typically based on rigorous research, a good helping of math, powerful computers and proprietary software.

We're not a startup.
While experimentation might be good for some things, chances are it is not good for you or your client's assets.

We're not a behemoth.
Large institutions can offer a lot of products to a lot of people. Yet, they often struggle with depth and focus and do not offer a truly specialized level of service and knowledge.

We think we've found the right mix of size and hunger—of stability and entrepreneurship.
So often in business, you have to choose between a stable industry leader and the dynamic innovator. Parametric brings you both in one partner.

ON BEARS, BULLS, AND BUBBLES.
Achieving investment success requires the right mix of creativity, experience and dogged persistence. This is the spirit of Parametric. Since its founding, the company has been persistent - generating ideas and knowledge on behalf of its clients - not only when it was easy to do so, but more importantly, during periods of greater turbulence and uncertainty.

Since our beginnings in 1987, Parametric has witnessed almost every possible market condition: crashes, bull markets, bear markets, bubbles, recessions, expansions, and a variety of tax regimes. We've seen numerous client situations, and responded with unique solutions. We've extended our base ideas into varied arenas including non-U.S. and emerging markets. We've innovated new applications including tax-efficiency, overlay management, and the integration of options. At every turn, we saw change not as an end but as a means.

What will the future hold? No one knows for sure. The only certainty is that it will demand experience, creativity, and focus—and the persistent hard work of a trusted partner.
