The New Frontier Asset Allocation System is a comprehensive solution for institutional quality portfolio management and investment decision making. Founded on New Frontier's patented Michaud optimization and Michaud-Esch Rebalancing, the System adds investment tools developed from statistical science, investment experience, modern financial theory, and proprietary research. It creates sensible, effectively diversified portfolios with the most advanced risk management technology available today while supporting the practical needs of investment managers. Our investment committee uses the System to create our own investment products.

The Estimator develops realistic risk and return inputs with state-of-the-art statistical methods, and the Optimizer computes the efficient frontier using Michaud optimization. Optional modules provide guidance about when and how to trade, project long-term outcomes of investment decisions, and increase computational efficiency.
