Why RAG Matters

Traditional AI models can hallucinate or provide outdated information. Our RAG system grounds every response in actual documents from our database, ensuring accuracy and enabling full auditability of AI-generated insights.

Quantitative Systems

Portfolio Allocation Model

Our AI-driven allocation model combines modern portfolio theory with machine learning to optimize position sizing, manage risk, and maximize risk-adjusted returns.

Dynamic Position Sizing

ML models that adjust position sizes based on conviction levels, volatility regimes, and correlation dynamics across the portfolio.

Risk Optimization

Real-time Value-at-Risk calculations, drawdown protection triggers, and automated hedging recommendations.

Alpha Generation

Factor-based analysis identifying opportunities where fundamentals diverge from price, optimized for our investment style.

How It Works

01

Data Ingestion

Ingest real-time market data, fundamentals, and alternative data sources

02

Factor Analysis

Decompose returns into factor exposures and identify alpha opportunities

03

Optimization

Run convex optimization to maximize Sharpe ratio within risk constraints

04
