What we do:
Financial Advisory Services (quantitative analysis)
We provide stock portfolio optimization based on our quantitative Chicago Quantum Net Score model & platform.
This is a type of Sharpe Ratio (risk and reward measurement) that was originally designed to work on a quantum computer, and is programmed and run to search through centillions of portfolio combinations to find the most efficient (long), or inefficient (short) stock portfolios based on a year of historical data, run after market close. We measure and report the size of the edge or alpha over an index such as the fortunate 500 or technology 100. The larger the edge, the more 'confident' the model results.
Our Chicago Quantum Net Score optimized portfolios typically have up to 50 stocks, held equally. Our short portfolios are always small to avoid diversification.
We have described our work on arXiv in a series of three articles, with the first one here. second one here, and the third one here.
In addition, we identify other interesting metrics and characteristics of stocks that may represent a relevant, significant anomaly in stock trading data that a client can trade on. For example, we produce lists of stocks with abnormal skewness, kurtosis, volume, price movements, dividend levels, and BETA values. For more information, we occasionally publish webpages with semi-current lists of these stock price distribution anomalies and how we think about those metrics.
We code different scenarios to test occasional hypotheses and investment theses. For example, we recently tested different levels of profitability, market capitalization, net income, book value and liquidity to see if we can reduce investor risk while maintaining an edge over the market. As a client, you can request for us to customize and maintain an analysis solely for you.
We provide our quantitative, analytic service on a fixed-price basis per daily analysis.
Investment Planning Services
We provide investment planning services to individuals and families where we spend a week getting to know you, your financial situation, and your future goals to develop a customized investment strategy for the short and long-term.
Fundamental Corporate Analysis (qualitative analysis)
We provide fundamental analysis of companies in the technology sector where we have expertise.
Why work with us?
Contact us if you are a large, proprietary trading firm, money manager, portfolio manager, investment advisor, or an accredited, high net worth investor. We would like to work for you.
