SSI Investment Management was founded in 1973 with an innovative idea: develop a strategy that provides consistent returns irrespective of market movements. SSI's early quantitative work, combined with the Firm's in-house fundamental research, led to the launch of an equity market neutral product and one of the first market neutral long/short equity portfolio to be offered to institutional investors.

SSI knew that an organization needs more than a single innovative idea to build a successful future. Ways of thinking change, conditions and products evolve, and styles come in and out of favor. An efficient, sophisticated market demands that firms build on their core strengths, thinking ahead and envisioning future possibilities. Throughout its history, SSI has sought industry professionals with broad backgrounds and unique areas of expertise to bring fresh ideas, develop and enhance key strategies, and manage the Firm's portfolios.

SSI has built an organization that for 40 years has successfully created new products that resonate in the marketplace and anticipate client needs. The original vision has been the cornerstone of SSI's success and remains a key component of the Firm's business model. SSI is proud to have enjoyed four decades of product innovation and professional growth.
