a thematic investment focus (e.g. blockchain, AI)
-
a particular regional focus (e.g. South America)
-
or company size focus (e.g. small caps),
we will help you identify the most interesting candidates from an IP perspective and create your customized dataset.

We can put together all kinds of fund strategies, such as equities, derivatives and special funds, such as total return, alpha strategies, etc.
All based on stocks and derivatives of companies with patents.
Research:
For smaller investment firms, where a single, short-term collaboration is more productive, we also offer research services (e.g., by valuing a patent portfolio of a certain company or a group of companies).
Backesting & performance simulations
Example:
MSCI World

Metric Selected backtest strategy MSCI World Index
Ø performance per year 11,4% 7,0%
Ø Drawdown -6,3% -5,9%
Max. Drawdown -24,5% -24,8%
Nasdaq Composite

Metric Selected backtest strategy Nasdaq Composite
Ø performance per year 17,7% 6,8%
Ø Drawdown -6,8% -7,5%
Max. Drawdown -28,9% -31,2%
Results:
-
For all tested indices and funds (benchmarks) we applied different filtering strategies, e.g. the top 30% with the most valuable patent portfolios.
-
In total, we tested 3 different patent-based strategies on all these universes.
-
In all reference cases, we found at least one patent-based strategy that outperformed it's individual benchmark.
Backtestings:
All our backtests were performed with equally weighted stock portfolios. In a wide backtesting analysis we have analyzed hundreds of funds and indexes where the composition was published.

QUONIAM ASSET MANAGEMENT: Generating alpha with innovative ideas
Since the carrying amount of patents provides precious little support in this respect, Quoniam uses alternative data provided by IPR Strategies, a company specialising in performing patent valuations for enterprises. IPR Strategies has set up a database for traded patents which is based on information gained from M&A transactions, auctions, and manual valuations. The dataset is trained using a learning process and identifies indicators which are relevant to valuation – including market-based, legal or technical details of patents. To assess individual patents, they are compared to traded patents with similar characteristics.
