  • Layer 2 describes our quantitative process that removes emotions from our investment decisions.
  • Layer 3 is our Diversification of Mathematics. We use 4 elements- Trend, Volatility, Economic, and Contrarian to take a full-scope approach to our data analyzation in the markets. Our goal is to create an institutional-level investment management experience for our clients.
