The vision

Quant funds wrote the greatest chapter in the history of markets. We are building one in that lineage: scientific rigor in the service of performance.

Where intuition hesitates, mathematics decides. Our approach: systematic models, tested over decades of data, governed by strict risk management and institutional-grade reporting. No promises: method, discipline, and the ambition to aim very high.

The project in 3 points

Understand Project Stellar in 30 seconds

Strategies that perform

A portfolio of systematic quantitative strategies (US equities, Nasdaq 100 futures, factor models) designed for institutional funds.

A machine already built

Technology pipeline, FIX API connectivity, risk-management engine and full reporting engine. Everything is ready to deploy.

One piece is missing

A FINMA-licensed partner, ready to provide the structure and allocate seed AuM to start an audited track record.

What we have already built

Infrastructure ready to operate

Not a project on paper: a complete chain, from research to execution, already in place.

Strategy portfolio

Several systematic strategies developed and backtested over decades of data, controlled for survivorship bias.

Architecture & tech pipeline

A modular end-to-end architecture: market data, research, signal, execution.

FIX API infrastructure

A FIX execution bridge ready to connect the fund to brokers and markets in real time.

Risk-management engine

Continuous monitoring of exposures, limits, drawdown and volatility: the core of institutional trust.

Full reporting engine

Clear, auditable performance and risk reports, ready for investors and regulators.

Ready. The track record is what's missing.

That is precisely what a FINMA partner makes it possible to start.

The inspiration

“Medallion is the greatest track record in the history of finance: nearly 66% gross return per year for more than thirty years.”

The Medallion fund of Jim Simons (a mathematician turned legend) and Renaissance Technologies proved that with enough science, data and discipline, markets can be tamed. It is our north star.

Medallion is closed to outside investors and remains unmatched. We do not claim to replicate it. It embodies the scientific rigor we hold ourselves to: an inspiration, not a promise of returns.
