Our Approach
Our approach is deeply rooted in fundamental financial analysis augmented by machine intelligence. Our investment approach is composed of four separate steps spanning the entire investment process.
1. Data Ingestion
Data is the foundation of our entire platform. The data ingestion module fetches, cleans, verifies and stores data from several sources.
Our main source of data is restful APIs to subscription sources. Their servers are pulled daily for updates.
The ingested raw data is cleaned and transformed into standard price series features for research and analysis.
2. Research and Analysis
Engines under this module extract or condense information from data.
In this step we thoroughly analyse more than 15 years of historical data across options, fixed income and stock markets. We currently analyse more than 20 million rows of historic option data to optimize our investment strategies.
We combine rigorous back testing with machine learning techniques to optimise investment strategies and portfolio construction.
The back testing and machine learning mechanisms are updated daily.
3. Portfolio Construction and Risk Management
We take a risk management first approach with significant focus on stop loss strategies and optimizing returns vs. securing adequate moneyness of the recommended options linked to market volatility while maintaining adequate margin in all market conditions.
The portfolio construction takes place in real time based on existing market conditions and prices.
4. Trade Execution and Liquidity Optimisation
In the last step we analyse the liquidity and spreads of actively traded options to select the most liquid options meeting the criteria from the portfolio construction step.
While portfolio construction is the most important step in ensuring a robust performance the liquidity aspect of trading options and the spreads involved must not be underestimated and can lead to significant additional investment returns over time.
Our Core Principles and Beliefs
Fundamentals + AI
Financial fundamentals remain at the forefront with AI used to augment proven financial theories and extract information from the markets that humans can’t.
Evidence
Making decisions based on evidence is far more reliable than ones based on instinct, assumptions or human emotions which can be biased.
Curiosity
Intellectual curiosity is a key ingredient for thinking differently and solving problems creatively.
