About Us
First Allied Asset Management (FAAM) is an SEC registered investment adviser with operations headquartered in San Diego, Calif. Investment strategies and portfolio design and management are driven by an in-house team of financial talent and strategic thinkers located in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Members of the FAAM team have previously managed portfolios for some of the country's largest endowments and institutions, and count on highly specialized expertise in quantitative modeling, patterns and technical indicators, product development analytics, forensic accounting and more, including sector-specific capabilities.
Each investment strategy FAAM employs is managed on a team basis. Our team builds and applies advanced technology to help clients achieve their investment goals, designing and employing proprietary quantitative systems and research that are used across investment strategies. This rich quantitative infrastructure allows our managers to objectively filter and process large amounts of disparate global information. However, this is just the starting point in our investment process.
Our people are the intellectual foundation of the firm, and their skill and judgment is the essential ingredient in investment selection. As such, we are not afraid to challenge conventional thinking in our approach to investing. Our people have been selected because they have been high achievers and critical thinkers from different backgrounds, and are held to high standards in a demanding environment. But most importantly, their energy, commitment, and shared values allow them to collaborate effectively.
