Systematic Long/Short Equity

A diversifying sleeve for sophisticated portfolios. Mid-frequency, factor-driven, with controlled exposure and low correlation to traditional books.

Get in Touch

Factors. Data. Academic Research.

We manage separately managed accounts for a select number of family offices, HNWIs, and advisors, built on the same systematic engine we run on our own capital. The strategy is designed to sit alongside what you already hold, adding a return stream with low correlation to traditional equity and fixed-income exposures. Factor research, disciplined risk controls, and a futures overlay combine into mandates calibrated to your portfolio, constraints, and risk budget.

Proprietary Trading

The Same Engine, Our Own Capital

We run the same systematic long/short equity strategy on the firm's own book, in a more aggressive calibration that includes microcaps and higher exposure. The proprietary book is where our alignment with mandate clients is most direct: same model, same process, our own money.
