Wavelength Capital Managment

What Wavelength Capital Managment does

Wavelength Capital Management is a privately-held SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2013 by Andrew Dassori, headquartered at 21 Bridge Square, Westport, Connecticut. The firm operates a single core product line — systematic, factor-based fixed income strategies delivered through its Wavelength Funds platform — targeting institutional investors (primary segment) and individual investors seeking liquid, transparent and cost-effective investment solutions. Its investment process applies quantitative tools to process fundamental economic and market information, and the firm has integrated AI and machine learning into this process since inception, including large language models, neural networks and deep learning trained on financial data.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on combining a global macro pedigree from Credit Suisse Asset Management (via founder and CIO Andrew Dassori) with a quantitative/technology foundation (Co-CEO and Founding Partner Mark Landis, who holds a BS in Computer Science and Economics from Union College). The firm earns revenue through recurring management fees calculated as a percentage of assets under management, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. In November 2021, the firm took a strategic investment from Diffractive Managers Group (formerly 1251 Asset Management), which provided growth capital and distribution channels and brought Diffractive's Chairman John Hailer onto Wavelength's board.

Wavelength distributes directly to investors through its website (wavelengthcapital.com) and Wavelength Funds platform, supported by a thought-leadership marketing strategy including a regular research blog, annual CIO predictions, social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter), and recurring earned media in Bloomberg, The Desk, Hedgeweek and FA Magazine, as well as speaking engagements such as the Fixed Income Leaders Summit. The firm operates with a 1–10 employee team, has not disclosed revenue or AUM, and has only one strategic investment event on record since founding.
