Andrew Ang Biography
Dr. Andrew Ang is recognized for his expertise in factor investing, a discipline focused on identifying and utilizing the underlying drivers of risk and return across asset classes. Ang earned a BEc (Hons) from Macquarie University and a PhD in finance and MS in statistics from Stanford University. As a financial economist specializing in quantitative investing, he has authored more than 100 publications covering equities, fixed income, optimal asset allocation, macroeconomics, sustainable investing, and private markets. RePEC/IDEAS, a leading bibliographic database in economics, ranks Ang in the top 0.1% of economists worldwide by citations, downloads, and views.
Prior to his industry career, Ang spent 15 years at Columbia Business School, where he served as Chair of the Finance and Economics Division and held the Ann F. Kaplan Professor of Business title. He contributed foundational research in factor investing, including work on the minimum volatility factor, integrating macro factors into bond pricing models, and factor allocation. His research initiated the low risk anomaly literature, which influenced the development of minimum volatility ETF strategies. Ang's collaboration with industry was acknowledged by aiCIO, which listed him among the top 10 most influential academics in institutional investing. His book, "Asset Management: A Systematic Approach to Factor Investing," published by Oxford University Press, has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
Ang has consulted for organizations such as the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Norges Bank and the Norwegian Ministry of Finance, the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, and other institutional managers on factor investing strategies. He later joined BlackRock as managing director and head of Factors, Sustainable and Solutions, overseeing factor investing strategies, including passive and active factor ETFs and proprietary long-only and multi-asset, long-short solutions. His research on factor timing was incorporated into BlackRock's first active ETF. Ang also advised BlackRock Retirement Solutions and co-founded BlackRock Tax Managed Equity strategies.
Following his tenure at BlackRock, Ang co-founded Tau Balance, a financial technology firm specializing in tax-efficient asset allocation and wealth management tools. He collaborated with STOXX Ltd. and SEI to launch the iSTOXX Ang Research Enhanced Index suite. SEI introduced the SEI Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF (NASDAQ: ANGU), the first in a series of research-enhanced investment solutions. Ang also served as a member of the Investment Advisory Panel of the Malaysia Sarawak Sovereign Wealth Future Fund.
Ang holds several patents and has received industry recognition, including the Harry Markowitz Award, the Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Award, and honors from the Q Group, INQUIRE, Netspar, and the National Science Foundation. He is a member of the Advisory Council of the Financial Analysts Journal.
