Q3's roots trace back to 1982 when Brad Giaimo began his career in the COMEX Gold Pit. In 1984, Brad was recruited to work for Paul Tudor Jones, where he learned the importance of "risk control" from someone considered by many to be one of the greatest money managers of the modern era. At the end of 1986 he took the lessons he'd learned and applied them as an independent member of the NYBOT, where he would spend the next 12 years refining the skills and concepts he brings to Q3 Asset Management.
Who is Q3?
Buy and hold investors typically only do well in up markets, but down or sideways markets can reveal the flaws inherent in this approach. Being "long" the market throughout a period of declining securities prices can postpone an investor's readiness for retirement. Our quantitative investment models are designed to adapt to all markets by taking advantage of market opportunities.
All of Q3's investment models are based on extensive research into market behavior. By identifying past trends, we look to uncover investment opportunities we believe give investors the best chance for long-term success.
Our strategies are designed with one priority, to protect investors from severe losses in down markets while providing quality participation in rising markets. To achieve superior performance, we must be nimble to react to continuously changing markets yet disciplined to always adhere to our methodologies.
