Novus has been a strong partner for us since our launch nearly three years ago. With their help we have organized and analyzed a dizzying amount of data from our custodians and external managers. Their teams are smart, hard-working, highly skilled, and helpful. They are a pleasure to work with.

Novus is instrumental in identifying and understanding the skill-sets and fundamentals within manager portfolios. In today's landscape, you can't get far without premier data and analytics. When you invest with a manager, you are trusting they perform incredible company-level research in order to develop a divergent view that captures excess returns. For us at Atom, we do that same level of research on our managers before we invest, and Novus is the foundation of this process.
