Founded in 1991, when financial markets were increasingly executed electronically, we launched with the idea that analysing financial data would reveal statistical patterns and new investment opportunities. We became one of the first pioneers in what has become known as quantitative and systematic investing.
The scientific method remains at the heart of what we do. It ensures an objective unbiased approach to data, allowing rigorous research to uncover the insight that creates clear and tested investment strategies.
Technology is our bedrock. It enables our research with the latest machine learning and cloud computing techniques, manages our huge volumes of financial and alternative data and connects us seamlessly to trading exchanges across the world.
Unlike many in our sector we have a strong culture of collaboration and teamwork. Drawing on our academic heritage we believe sharing ideas across teams creates the best culture for innovation, development and success.
