At Alpha Performance Psychometrics, we believe that when selecting an alternative asset manager, the personality of key players within the team, and the goodness of fit among them, is one of the essential factors that will determine the long-term success of the partnership. Psychometrics has been applied across a variety of industries. In the investment management industry, however, it is not a part of usual due diligence. Personality assessment remains informal and unsystematic, mostly based on interpersonal interviews and connections. We offer an alternative that is data driven, systematic, rigorous, and rooted in science. Our methods draw upon modern psychometric science and 35+ years of collective experience, during which we have performed more than 15,000 psychometric evaluations. We perform psychometric assessments that provide detailed quantitative descriptions and analyses of asset managers’ personality traits together with the goodness-of-fit among the key partners. Through the use of a carefully selected combination of interviews, questionnaires, and performance-based tests, we can give asset owners and intermediaries objective, precise, and organized personality profiles which can help them make informed decisions about the alternative asset managers they are considering. While valuable in any decision regarding investment managers, these evaluations can be particularly helpful when considering emerging managers with atypical professional backgrounds and shorter track records. Including it in your due diligence process would also strengthen your DEI agenda by providing unbiased views that allow a balanced consideration of all candidates - including individuals from underrepresented populations (e.g., women and minorities).
