Engineering Portfolios to Meet Client Needs

The Jacobs Levy investment process is engineered to be fully integrated across all investment functions, from security selection, portfolio construction, and trading, through performance attribution and guideline compliance. The objective is to construct portfolios that offer consistent outperformance relative to underlying benchmarks, with strict control of portfolio risk. Outperformance results from depth of analysis combined with breadth of inquiry, proprietary methods of "disentangling" the market's complex web of profit opportunities, sophisticated modeling techniques, and ongoing research to discover new investment insights. Algorithmic trading techniques minimize transaction costs, preserving the value of investment insights. Jacobs Levy does not pay soft dollar commissions.

Given the breadth and depth of the Jacobs Levy investment process, portfolios can be engineered to a wide range of U.S. equity benchmarks. The firm offers the following strategies:
 

·  Large Cap Core, Growth, and Value portfolios designed to produce significant, consistent value added relative to the S&P 100, S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 3000, Russell 1000 Growth and Value indexes.

·  Mid Cap Core, Growth, and Value portfolios designed to produce significant, consistent value added relative to the S&P 400, Russell Mid Cap Growth and Value indexes.

·  Small Cap Core, Growth, and Value portfolios designed to produce significant, consistent value added relative to the S&P 600, Russell 2000, Russell 2500, Russell 2000 and Russell 2500 Growth and Value indexes.

·  Enhanced Active 120-20 and 130-30 portfolios designed to provide higher value added relative to the S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 3000, Russell 1000 Growth and Value and Russell 2000 indexes. These portfolios relax the long-only constraint to permit meaningful security underweights.

·  Enhanced Active 200-100 portfolios designed to provide significant value added relative to the S&P 500, Russell 1000 and Russell 3000 indexes. These portfolios remove the long-only constraint to allow full exploitation of our security valuation insights with an active market exposure.

· Market-Neutral Long-Short portfolios designed to maximize absolute return by profiting from both winning and losing stocks.
