About Us

Discovering and harnessing exceptional investment talent

An investment program only becomes a solution through insight, structure, rigor, and talent.

Founded in 2005 by Clayton Jue and an experienced group of emerging manager industry professionals, the firm remains entrepreneurial and focused. Nearly half of the firm’s professional staff has been with Leading Edge since its founding and another one-quarter of team members have worked together for more than two decades including time at prior firms. This high level of continuity by the firm’s professional staff is rare in the field.

Leading Edge’s depth of expertise and powerful proprietary technology fuel an investment platform that has proven adept at identifying exceptional emerging manager talent and at structuring customized, complementary portfolios of managers. In this way, we work to deliver attractive investment outcomes for plan sponsors and critical opportunities for the success and growth of diverse and emerging managers.

Our commitment to innovation and technological advancement ensures a forward thinking, analytical, detail-driven, and thorough effort – both quantitative and qualitative – that is continually measured and enhanced. Our makeup – as a minority-owned firm, staffed with a diverse professional organization and functioning under an inclusive team culture – ensures a highly transparent process and operations conforming to the highest ethical standards.

Our work serves investors and managers alike and we are passionate in its pursuit.
