Jack Vogel

Jack Vogel co-founded Alpha Architect with Wesley Gray, creating one of the more transparent and research-driven quantitative ETF providers in the US. Alpha Architect publishes extensive research explaining the academic underpinnings of their investment strategies and provides detailed transparency into their portfolio construction and factor exposures. Their ETF suite includes concentrated deep value (QVAL), momentum (QMOM), and international equivalents. The firm targets sophisticated investors who want to implement evidence-based factor strategies with genuine factor purity — avoiding the "factor dilution" that often occurs in large diversified factor products. Their regular research updates and blog have attracted a significant following. Vogel's empirical research on the interaction between value and momentum factors, and the conditions under which concentrated factor portfolios outperform diversified blends, has contributed practical insights to the ongoing debate about optimal factor portfolio construction for long-horizon institutional investors.
