Founded in 1976 by the Dr. John S. Brush, Ph.D., Columbine Asset Management, Inc. (CAM) is an independent research firm based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The firm provides quantitative research and consulting services to professional money managers and large institutions worldwide. CAM conducts original research into the sources of stock return and develops mathematical models that forecast alpha based on specific stock characteristics or investment styles. They use proprietary models to rank each issue based on its probable future alpha. Their principal tool for designing multifactor models is an optimization methodology that they call gradient maximization (grad max). This model construction process combines steepest ascents and multi-period portfolio simulation. Steepest ascents is a technique from the world of operations research developed to solve complex problems of multivariate optimization while satisfying constraints that are intractable using traditional calculus. CCM's grad max approach is a simulation technique that relies on computer power to actively search for the optimal model among all possible combinations. No off-the-shelf software is used for grad max optimization.
