Founded in 1991, when financial markets
were increasingly executed electronically, we launched with the idea that analysing financial data would
reveal statistical patterns and new investment opportunities. We became one of the first pioneers in
what has become known as quantitative and systematic investing.
The scientific method remains at the heart of what we do. It ensures an objective unbiased approach to
data, allowing rigorous research to uncover the insight that creates clear and tested investment
strategies.
Technology is our bedrock. It enables our research with the latest machine learning and cloud computing
techniques, manages our huge volumes of financial and alternative data and connects us seamlessly to
trading exchanges across the world.
Unlike many in our sector we have a strong culture of collaboration and teamwork. Drawing on our
academic heritage we believe sharing ideas across teams creates the best culture for innovation,
development and success.
