We build systematic quantitative strategies and institutional-grade infrastructure. We are looking for a FINMA-licensed partner to launch a track record and raise our first $50M in assets.
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.
A portfolio of systematic quantitative strategies (US equities, Nasdaq 100 futures, factor models) designed for institutional funds.
Technology pipeline, FIX API connectivity, risk-management engine and full reporting engine. Everything is ready to deploy.
A FINMA-licensed partner, ready to provide the structure and allocate seed AuM to start an audited track record.
Not a project on paper: a complete chain, from research to execution, already in place.
Several systematic strategies developed and backtested over decades of data, controlled for survivorship bias.
A modular end-to-end architecture: market data, research, signal, execution.
A FIX execution bridge ready to connect the fund to brokers and markets in real time.
Continuous monitoring of exposures, limits, drawdown and volatility: the core of institutional trust.
Clear, auditable performance and risk reports, ready for investors and regulators.
That is precisely what a FINMA partner makes it possible to start.
