BOSTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Newfound Research LLC, a financial technology and product innovation firm focused on tactical risk management, has announced that Benjamin Gross has joined the Company as Vice President of Product Development and Quantitative Strategies. Gross will be primarily focused on developing new methods and models of dynamic risk management, innovative new investment products, as well as new applications of Newfound Research’s existing technology.

“With the strong interest of asset managers in our investment products and for our customized dynamic risk management models, we are pleased to strengthen our team with Ben, whose experience and skills will be critical to meeting the increasing demand”

Before joining Newfound Research, Gross was part of the Wealth Management Group at AXA Advisors, LLC, where he designed portfolio allocation strategies and investment policies. Gross completed his Bachelors of Business Administration at the Goizueta School of Business at Emory University and his MS in Computational Finance from Carnegie Mellon University.

"Newfound Research strives to provide each of our clients with the most innovative investment products in the industry,” said Tom Rosedale, Chief Executive Officer of Newfound Research. “Demand for our products has increased exponentially over the last few years, due to the increased volatility levels in the markets and the absence of new, innovative products developed by an independent firm like ours. Newfound Research’s models offer unique risk management tools and have proven to attract significant cash inflows. The steps we are taking now, such as adding strong members to our core functions, will better serve our clients and new clients who are looking to Newfound Research for their investment product development or reconfiguration needs.”
