These anomalies may include misvaluation, overinvestment or retrenchment by management and excessive extrapolation of trends by investors.

The firm looks for situations in which the current state of affairs is untenable and the reward for patience is great.

The models balance conflicting signals in a dynamic fashion, putting greater emphasis on the factor with the highest expected return at each point in time.
