Valuation models, quant research, data integration, process automation, portfolio risk. By the team that built it for Cornerstone Investment Partners.
For two decades, this team built the quant and infrastructure stack inside one of Atlanta's premier alternatives firms. Running valuation, research, portfolio analytics, and risk infrastructure on behalf of institutional capital. In 2026, we're newly opening that practice to outside firms. Asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and quant desks who need institutional-grade infrastructure without standing up the engineering team to build it themselves.
Every engagement starts from one of these five capability areas, sometimes two or three together. We don't sell shrink-wrapped software to institutional clients. We partner on bespoke builds and ongoing infrastructure, scoped from the underlying need.
Bespoke valuation infrastructure tailored to your investment strategy and reporting requirements. Discounted cash flow models for credit and equity. LBO frameworks for private equity. NAV calculations for fund of funds and structured vehicles. IFRS / GAAP compliant outputs. Independent third-party valuations when required by your LPs or auditors.
Custom signal development against your investment thesis. Backtesting infrastructure with realistic execution modeling, slippage, and capacity analysis. Strategy validation using walk-forward, Monte Carlo, and out-of-sample testing. Risk-adjusted return analysis with Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, and bespoke metrics aligned to your investor reporting.
End-to-end data pipelines across Bloomberg, Refinitiv, alt-data vendors, exchange feeds, and internal sources. Real-time and historical with quality monitoring, gap detection, and audit trails. Data warehousing on modern cloud infrastructure with point-in-time correctness, so your backtests don't quietly use information that wasn't available at the time.
Investment management workflow automation. The operational layer between research and execution. Reporting automation for LPs, auditors, and internal stakeholders. Compliance automation with audit trails and regulatory framework support. Bespoke internal tooling that replaces spreadsheet sprawl with maintainable systems.
Portfolio-level risk attribution. Where is your return actually coming from, and what risk are you taking to get it. Scenario testing against historical and synthetic market regimes. VaR analysis at the portfolio level with multiple methodologies. Parametric, historical simulation, Monte Carlo. Stress testing frameworks built for your specific exposure profile.
Arizet's institutional practice is led by the same team that built the quant infrastructure stack at Cornerstone Investment Partners over more than two decades. Running valuation, research, portfolio analytics, and risk for institutional capital across multiple market cycles. The team's pedigree spans Wharton, McKinsey, IBM, and Cornerstone, with deep operating experience in both finance and engineering.
The work we're now offering to outside firms is the same work we've been doing for institutional principals for years. Phase 1 of the external practice opens in Q3 2026, with selective engagements through 2026 and broader availability in 2027.

Institutional engagements don't fit a template. The four phases below are the structure. What happens inside each phase is scoped to your firm, your strategy, and your existing infrastructure.
NDA-first conversations. We learn your strategy, your existing stack, your operational gaps, and your investor reporting requirements.
Detailed scope of work, deliverables, milestones, pricing. Fixed-price project, retainer, or embedded team. Your choice of engagement structure.
Architecture, implementation, integration, testing, deployment. Weekly check-ins. Demos every 2 weeks. You see progress continuously, not just at the end.
Retainer for ongoing support, feature additions, monitoring, and operations. Or hand-off to your team with documentation and training. Your choice.
