The aim is to turn a high beta asset class into a manageable, single allocation. Purpose Investments is an asset management company with more than $30 billion in assets under management. With an unrelenting focus on client-centric innovation, Purpose Investments offers a range of managed and quantitative investment products and is led by well-known entrepreneur Som Seif.
