Acuitas offers investment management and advisory services, primarily focused on long-term growth of invested capital. They aim to outperform benchmarks by investing in multiple pooled vehicles or separately managed accounts managed by unaffiliated investment advisers. Their research and selection process seeks to identify managers likely to outperform over a long time horizon. Acuitas offers various investment strategies, including customized strategies for clients when requested and within the scope of their investment process. Acuitas actively monitors and researches the investment managers they select to manage client assets, ensuring they maintain high confidence in the managers and the products they offer. They maintain frequent contact with the underlying managers, including onsite meetings, to ensure their competitive advantages remain intact. Acuitas also collects and analyzes portfolio holdings, monitors risk exposures, and diligently seeks ways to improve the risk/reward characteristics of client portfolios. They currently select and monitor independent investment advisers (subadvisers) for Funds, Mutual Funds, and separately managed accounts, who purchase and sell securities for each client's account. These subadvisers are generally retained through contractual sub-advisory relationships with Acuitas.

Acuitas offers investment management and advisory services in various strategies, including Emerging Markets Small Cap and Long/Short Equity. The Emerging Markets Small Cap strategy utilizes a multi-manager approach focused on small and microcap equities in emerging markets, including frontier markets, aiming to capitalize on perceived inefficiencies. The strategy benchmarks its performance against the FTSE Small Cap Emerging Index. The Long/Short Equity strategy, also employing a multi-manager approach, targets small and microcap equities globally, seeking absolute returns. While not benchmarked to a traditional long-only market capitalization weighted index, the strategy's market capitalization criteria generally aligns with Russell's global suite of small and microcap indexes.
