Research Philosophy

Our research philosophy is rooted in scientific rigor and intellectual honesty. Models are not treated as black boxes, but as structured representations of market behavior whose assumptions and limitations must be fully understood.

We rely on empirical evidence, sound statistical methods and, when relevant, insights from academic research. Hypotheses are challenged, documented and tested across multiple market regimes before being considered for production.

Discipline and Responsibility

We consider discipline a core requirement of quantitative trading. Strategy development, deployment and operation follow clearly defined processes designed to reduce operational and model risks.

Every component of a strategy — from data inputs to execution logic — is subject to scrutiny, monitoring and post-trade analysis. Performance is not evaluated solely through aggregate metrics, but through detailed attribution and risk decomposition.
