Quantitative research & investment

A Poor Hedge Fund

We operate a multi-strategy quantitative hedge fund across equities, cryptocurrencies, and prediction markets. Our research draws on advanced mathematics, statistics, econophysics, and proprietary AI to develop algorithmic trading strategies.

We pursue regime independence and crash resilience through complementary strategies and disciplined risk management. An integrated research and engineering platform connects model development, validation, and live execution.

The research behind the portfolio.

Mathematical modeling, fundamental analysis, and custom AI inform a connected view of markets. Risk management and diversification shape how that research becomes a portfolio.

  1. Mathematical modeling & econophysics

    We study markets as interacting systems. Probability, statistics, and ideas from physics help us examine collective behavior, liquidity dynamics, and transitions between market regimes.

  2. Fundamental analysis

    We examine the economic drivers behind assets and businesses. Fundamental analysis gives context to quantitative signals, connecting market prices with the forces that influence value.

  3. Correlation engine

    Our correlation engine investigates relationships across financial markets and the wider world, from regional temperatures and commodity prices to world events and market behavior. Environmental, economic, and other diverse datasets help us explore signals, shared drivers, and hidden exposures.

  4. Custom ML pipelines & AI models

    We build machine-learning pipelines and proprietary AI models for pattern recognition, signal discovery, and strategy research. Reproducible experiments and validation connect model development to practical trading decisions.

  5. Generative AI

    Generative AI supports the analysis of unstructured information, research synthesis, and the development of new hypotheses. Its outputs feed a broader process of modeling, testing, and evaluation.

  6. Risk management & diversification

    We evaluate strategies together: their shared exposures, concentration, liquidity, and behavior under stress. Diversification is assessed through underlying risks and changing correlations, with regime independence and crash resilience as design objectives.

Built by the people running it.

Our team brings more than 40 years of combined experience designing, building, and operating complex software systems. That experience spans distributed systems, machine-learning pipelines, and data processing infrastructure, with resilience and reliability built into the architecture.

We combine hands-on engineering with experience leading products and teams. Using state-of-the-art tools and technologies, we connect research, data, and production infrastructure into systems designed to remain dependable as workloads grow and conditions change.
