What We Build
We turn diverse inputs into systematic trades. Every signal is coded, tested, and monitored like a production system.
Our target is consistent, low-beta performance with controlled drawdowns. That discipline lets us use leverage intelligently and scale what works.
Our Edge
As a student-run fund, we simply can't outspend large funds on hardware or latency, so we compete with creativity and rigor.
We search in areas others overlook, with a strong focus on deriving and accurately quantifying insights from alternative data.
The Skills Required
The work spans machine learning, data engineering, statistics, applied math, macro analysis, and portfolio construction. Our onboarding and mentorship make the breadth approachable from day one.
