Investment career

Fisher founded quantitative investment firm Gerstein Fisher in 1993. By 2006, he became one of the first investment managers to offer factor investing. From 2010-14, Fisher launched factor-based mutual funds in the growth equity and real estate investment trust (REIT) categories.

Fisher collaborates on research with academics including Sheridan Titman. He founded the Gerstein Fisher Research Center in 2009. His main areas of research and contributions include quantifying the value-add of the investment advisor, replicating hedge fund returns through more liquid, transparent investment strategies, and quantifying the excess returns attributable to the small country factor.

In 2016, with over $3 billion in assets under management, Fisher sold Gerstein Fisher to People's United Bank, expanding the bank into quantitative investing and becoming Head of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Strategy for their investment division.

In 2018, Fisher was named to the Board of Trustees, responsible for overseeing the investment of University at Buffalo's endowment.
