About Us

Alpha comes to those who prize it.

Sandbar Asset Management was founded by Michael Cowley. Its establishment is the crescendo of a 14-year career dedicated to pure stock selection alpha inside a disciplined market neutral framework.

That same tenacity for alpha is carved into the DNA of the Sandbar investment process he now oversees; a team of united investment professionals, who share his vision, stand behind its rigorous implementation.

Our unusual level of focus on alpha translates into an uncorrelated return stream. It’s a proposition best suited to those who want to be ahead of the crowd, rather than part of it.
