Early life and education[edit]

Investment career[edit]
Fisher founded quantitative investment firm Gerstein Fisher in 1993.[3] By 2006, he had become one of the first investment managers to offer factor investing.[4] From 2010 to 2014, Fisher launched factor-based mutual funds in the global growth equity and real estate investment trust (REIT) categories.[5][6]
Fisher collaborates on research with academics including Sheridan Titman. He founded the Gerstein Fisher Research Center in 2009.[7][8]
In 2016, with over $5 billion in assets under management and advisement, Fisher sold Gerstein Fisher to People’s United Bank, expanding the bank into quantitative investing and becoming Lead Portfolio Manager, Head of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Strategy for their investment division.[9]
In 2018, Fisher was named to the University at Buffalo's board of trustees and is now Investment Committee Chairman of the University at Buffalo Foundation.[10] Through his substantial financial contributions, Fisher established the Fisher Research Collaborative in the University at Buffalo School of Management to encourage multidisciplinary research collaboration, in part by providing students and faculty access to essential sources of data and analytics.
In 2019, Fisher launched Quent Capital, an asset management firm focused on global innovation.[11]
