ABOUT OSAM
OSAM's investment philosophy is based on the belief that there are certain factors that have historically led to superior investment returns over the long term.
These factors include value, momentum, quality, and size. OSAM uses its proprietary research to identify and invest in companies that exhibit these factors.
OSAM CANVAS
Canvas is OSAM's custom indexing platform. It allows investors to build and implement their own investment strategies.
It is a powerful tool that can be used to create portfolios that are tailored to the specific needs and risk tolerances of individual investors.
Canvas users can choose from a variety of factors and asset classes to build their portfolios. They can also customize their portfolios to avoid certain stocks or industries, or to align with their personal values.
Canvas is a good option for investors who want to take control of their own investments, as well as for financial advisors who want to offer their clients a more personalized investment experience.
