We leverage mathematics, statistics, and machine learning to generate superior investment results.
Learn MoreWe are a systematic, data-forward, quantitative trading firm. We use statistical models to identify market inefficiencies to build relative value-focused, factor-controlled, and carefully risk-managed algorithmic trading strategies.
Disciplined, rules-based allocation to minimize behavioral bias.
Signal discovery rooted in robust datasets and rigorous validation.
Portfolio construction with explicit drawdown and factor controls.
Our roots stem from academia. Our CIO, Ivan Medovikov, Ph.D., is a university professor who spent over a decade applying original scientific research methods in the fields of statistics and data inference, with a focus on financial market applications. He uniquely blends his research background with hands-on experience in the financial industry — he holds a Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation and has over a decade of hands-on portfolio management experience. He has worked with and received training from some of the leading figures in the Canadian hedge fund and portfolio management sectors.
He is supported by his co-founders who are capital markets veterans, with decades of experience in the alternative asset management, trading, compliance and operations.
We practice an evidence-based approach to portfolio construction. We use data-driven models to identify high-quality, outperforming securities based on recognizable market patterns. We thoroughly test our models throughout the market cycle and follow through with our trading to achieve a systematic portfolio allocation that is free from indiscipline and behavioral bias.
We further use quantitative techniques to manage risk and portfolio exposures, achieving upside capture during bull markets, but providing robust downside protection during market downturns. Capital preservation is our primary goal, followed by long-term growth.
Our name speaks to our goals, advantages and strengths, and ultimately highlights the value that we deliver. Compounding investment returns can lead to exponential growth of a capital base, but such growth requires a long-term commitment. In other words — it takes staying power to enjoy the exponential experience.
By managing downside risks, we believe that investors can afford to stay invested over a longer term without the fear of losing their capital. By leveraging technology and data-driven models in our investment process we are able to keep the costs low for our investors. We pass these savings to our investors so that they can experience higher returns, which contributes to the exponential growth of their capital base.
