Founding Principles

In the spring of 2002, the firm's founding principals purchased the equity portion of Wilshire's Asset Management division to start Los Angeles Capital Management. The entire portfolio team, including the key decision makers who worked together for fifteen years, came to LA Capital to focus exclusively on the proprietary Dynamic Alpha Model. The philosophy, experience, and dedication of L.A. Capital's professional staff are practiced and time-tested. With over thirty years of investment experience, the partners of L.A. Capital bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the new firm.

Three founding principles serve as a guide for directing and managing the firm's resources:

• Establish the client partnership by focusing on each client's objectives, guidelines, risk budget, and information needs.
• Recognize the dynamic nature of the capital markets in security selection, trading, risk measurement, and portfolio construction.
• Maintain an alignment of interest with the firm's clients by focusing resources on investment research and transaction cost containment.
