A New Era for Responsible Buy-Side Alpha Capture: Building trust, elevating standards, and renewing confidence in one of institutional investing’s most enduring sources of return.

Institutional allocators and independent managers are standing at a crossroads. The landscape for long/short fundamental equity has changed, but so have the tools for generating true, repeatable alpha. CenterBook Partners has spent 5 years developing a platform to unlock scalable, sustainable alpha through collaboration, systematic rigor, and data integrity.

10+ years of proprietary data across 200+ long/short fundamental equity managers and 3+ years of global trading informs a new framework for Responsible Buy-Side Alpha Capture - a model built on transparency, alignment, and shared value creation.

Inside the Paper

Mutual Benefit
Responsible Alpha Capture platforms synthesize diverse investment signals to strengthen portfolio construction, enhance risk management, and improve capital efficiency - for both managers and allocators.
Alpha Revival
Long/short fundamental equity remains a prime source of institutional alpha - especially when powered by responsible, data-driven collaboration frameworks, leading to longer term alpha generation benefits.
Sustainable Standards
Best practice requires alignment, transparency, fair use, and market impact reimbursement, with platforms responsible for adopting and implementing these practices.
