We primarily operate as a proprietary trading firm, executing algorithmic strategies across US, China, and ASEAN equities and options markets. Our edge comes from leveraging in-house data science and AI capabilities, applied directly to the complexities of financial markets. Beyond our proprietary trading, we scale and diversify by partnering with funds, family offices, and individual traders within Singapore’s financial ecosystem.
Through these collaborations, we provide our expertise and technology solutions, enabling joint market ventures and profit-sharing opportunities while extending the benefits of our advanced research and trading capabilities to a broader investor base.
as we gained reputation by entering trades exactly at the bottom inflexion point in 2018.
Since then we have continued to expand our trading activities. Over time, we have grown from deploying five proprietary algorithms to over thirty, covering a diversified set of assets. As markets evolved, we also transitioned from focusing on single alpha sources to implementing a diversified portfolio approach, enhancing adaptability and long-term performance.
We were among the first in Asia to apply machine learning to systematically identify market inefficiencies, starting in late 2017. Our early work received support from Nanyang Technological University, the Media Development Authority of Singapore, the CEO of UOB Asset Management, and prominent venture capitals. Initial traction came through collaboration with a select group of fund management companies handling over a billion in AUM.
