Menno Vermeulen, CFA is a Partner, Portfolio Manager and Senior Quantitative Analyst at LSV Asset Management. Mr. Vermeulen has more than 14 years of investment experience and was one of the first employees of LSV Asset Management where he is charged with implementing LSV's quantitative techniques both in the programming and running of the models used to invest our client's assets.

Mr. Vermeulen has a long history working closely with Dr. Lakonishok. Prior to joining LSV, he worked at ABP, the largest pension plan in Europe and one of the largest in the world. At ABP, Mr. Vermeulen was responsible for the development and implementation of quantitative active investment strategies. In this capacity, he built the database and conducted research that led to a quantitative tactical country allocation model. Mr. Vermeulen developed and wrote the PC-based software to implement, update and maintain this model. Dr. Lakonishok was also hired by ABP on a consulting basis prior to launching LSV Asset Management. Mr. Vermeulen worked closely with Dr. Lakonishok to apply some of his academic theories initially to the Dutch equity market. That working relationship continues today at LSV Asset Management.

At LSV, Mr. Vermeulen has developed and written the software for our quantitative models and portfolio management system. He leads our quantitative and implementation team, which is responsible for the day-to-day data management, portfolio implementation and ongoing enhancement of our models and systems. Mr. Vermeulen is also involved in the research process at LSV and he holds a masters degree in Econometrics from Erasmus University at Rotterdam.
