Investment Management: Separately Managed Accounts

Our firm:

US Advanced Computing Infrastructure, Inc.
does business as: Chicago Quantum
​
1. We are a non-discretionary investment advisor registered with the Illinois Department of Securities and FINRA, located in Highland Park, Illinois. We were founded in 2010.
2. We are registered as a US Federal Government contractor (all agencies) and vetted by a government-mandated, scientific consortium, a
s information technology, quantum computing, and management consultants.
3. We are a U.S. small business, for-profit, and a corporation.

Our services

Our services include performing research and analysis, giving advice, and sharing market intelligence.
  • We perform due diligence on companies, industries, geographies, events and technologies.  For example, you might ask for us to provide research services on quantum computing, a section of the South China Sea, or a specific company.
  • We work on either an hourly, daily, weekly rate or perform custom projects on a fixed-price basis.
  • We will work as a subcontractor.

We do not handle our client's funds directly. 

We create a separately managed account with our custodial agent (currently Charles Schwab) or with your broker. Our discretion is limited to trades. Our client separately receives account statements and invoices.

Our investment strategy

We invest funds into a mix of long and short positions in U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE, NYSE ARCA and NASDAQ). Our objective is to profit from the differences in stock performance between optimized long and short portfolios.  For clients that prefer a long or short portfolio only, we will forego hedging strategies.

The objective of this separately managed account is to generate arbitrage profits between stocks with different levels of go-forward risk/reward. We adjust stock selection, position sizes and rebalancing frequency to minimize trading costs while maximizing the edge for our clients.

We have a few other ideas for investment models that we can run for a client and evaluate together:
Quantum Computing Stocks 
  • We track companies that have exposure to quantum computing. We would build a long/short portfolio, or just a long portfolio, upon request.
The highest quality stocks...then optimize the portfolio
  • This approach starts with a filter by industry, profitability, cash flow, companies listed in the USA that operate and have a HQ in the United States, then we apply our judgment.
The top dividend stocks...then optimize the portfolio
  • This approach selects high-dividend paying stocks (at least 3% paid over the past year), then builds an optimized portfolio

Our fees

​We charge typical and customary fees. Please review our brochure or contact us for pricing.

Please contact us for a free consultation, and to learn more about our separately managed accounts.

Hedge risks with both long & short positions

Unique portfolio strategy offers diversification
