AI Portfolio Management

Institutional Portfolios, enhanced by AI deployed inside your own accounts.

Mandates modeled after sovereign wealth funds, elite hedge funds, and world-renowned asset allocators, enhanced with proprietary valuation frameworks, multi-layered entry targets, and powered by automated AI execution engines.

The position

Markets outgrew human reaction time. The desks pulling ahead added a machine.

A human analyst holds a handful of variables at once and holds them well. The market moves on thousands, continuously, across every asset class at the same time, and it does not pause while anyone catches up.

The harder problem was never speed, though. It was consistency. Sizing the position before conviction arrives. Cutting when the thesis breaks rather than when the pain does.

Our systems read that surface without stopping. They weigh what they see against everything they have seen before, and they place trades on risk that was defined in advance, not negotiated in the moment.

They do not get tired, they do not get proud, and they do not need to be right about the next trade to be right about the next four hundred. That is the whole argument.

The gap

A mandate to deploy is not a mandate to buy well.

Index funds, mutual funds, and most asset managers are obliged to put capital to work on a schedule. Money arrives, money goes in, whatever the price on the screen that morning. Nothing in the structure asks whether this is a good moment, so the same asset gets bought at the top with exactly the discipline it gets bought at the bottom, and every one of those purchases is averaged into the cost basis the investor actually owns.

01

Valuation frameworks

Proprietary models that price the asset before we price the trade, so an entry has to clear a level rather than a date.

02

Continuous analysis

The engine reads the surface without pause and says when the evidence is there, and just as often, when it is not.

03

Execution controls

Size, timing, and the level at which a position stops being worth holding, all fixed before entry rather than argued after it.

The portfolio is the thesis. The cost basis is the edge.

What it stands in for

In practice, this is a trading desk. Six seats, one system.

  • 01ResearchContinuous, across every liquid market
  • 02ExecutionAround the clock, without hesitation
  • 03Risk managementDefined per position, before entry
  • 04Portfolio constructionSized against the whole book
  • 05OperationsReconciled daily, visible to you
  • 06ReportingYour own platform, your own statements
The method

The Operating Process. Four stages, continuously.

01 / Ingest

Market Data Ingestion

Price, volatility, liquidity, macro, and cross-asset flow, streamed without pause across global markets.

02 / Model

Modelling and Signal

Models surface statistically grounded edges and adapt as regimes shift, far past human bandwidth.

03 / Execute

Automated Execution

Entries and exits with risk defined per position, executed around the clock, free of emotion or fatigue.

04 / Report

Reporting and Oversight

Every position, every fill, visible in your own platform. Nothing is netted, summarised, or hidden.

Markets we cover

Four asset classes, read by one engine.

Equities

Global indices and single names with the liquidity to absorb a systematic book. Where regime shifts show up before they show up anywhere else.

Session 6.5 / 5Index & single

Futures

Index, rates, energy, and metals contracts. Where leverage is explicit, expiry is fixed, and disciplined sizing does most of the work.

Session 23 / 5Exchange traded

Forex

Majors, minors, and the crosses that carry the macro. The deepest, most continuous market there is, and the one the engine reads first.

Session 24 / 5Spot & CFD

Crypto

Majors and the liquid alt complex. The market that never closes, which is precisely where a machine has the largest edge over a desk.

Session 24 / 7Spot & CFD
Mandates

Mandates inspired by institutional success.

Long-horizon books modelled on how the great allocators actually hold markets. These are portfolios to be held and rebalanced, not traded, with our valuation and execution layer deciding where capital enters.

01 / Sovereign

Sovereign Core

Inspired by the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund

Hold the market broadly, stay rules-bound, and rebalance rather than trade. The discipline that lets a state fund compound for decades, applied to a book a fraction of the size. Patience as a policy rather than a preference.

Global equityRules boundRebalanced
Register interest
02 / Quadrant

Quadrant Core

Inspired by Ray Dalio’s principles

Allocate across the four regime quadrants so the book always holds something suited to the state the economy is actually in, rather than betting the whole allocation on the one everybody expects.

Regime awareMulti-quadrantCore holding
Register interest
03 / Commodities

Commodity Core

Real assets, held systematically

The real-asset sleeve, held systematically rather than traded. It is the part of the book built to hold its value when the paper part of it will not.

Register interest
01 / Sovereign debt

Sovereign Income Core

Global government and corporate debt

The fixed income leg of the sovereign model. Duration and credit held to a written policy rather than traded around, sized to be the ballast the equity book cannot be. Where the Cores go defensive, this is what they go into.

Systems that trade, live on real capital today.

Where the mandates hold, these act. The futures and foreign exchange books are live on real capital with verified records, each one backtested and then run on company money before anyone else could touch it.

01 / Index futuresLive

NQ · MNQ

Nasdaq 100 futures · micro and full size

The index futures mandate, traded on the Nasdaq 100 contract and its micro. Leverage is explicit, expiry is fixed, and position sizing does most of the work.

Ally Alpha

Multi-strategy · weighted blend

A weighted blend across the currency systems, rebalanced as regimes turn. For allocators who want the whole FX engine rather than one mandate.

05 / Gold directionalLive

Gold Alpha

XAU · high conviction

The aggressive gold mandate. Takes directional risk the Gold Portfolio will not, and is sized for allocators who want the tail rather than the core.

XAU/USDDirectionalHigh conviction
Tear sheets

Institutional grade, not marketing

Each mandate ships a full sheet: strategy terms, exposure, the risk framework, drawdown history, and the live account the record was produced in. Written for an investment committee to interrogate.

Verification

Third party, not our word

Live records publish straight from the trading account to an independent verification service. The figures are read from the broker, so they are never ours to restate or reframe.

Assurance

Reviewed by algorithmic trading CPAs

Specialist third-party accountants who work in systematic trading, not generalists meeting it for the first time. They review the books and the reporting that sits behind every sheet.

Full tear sheets and verification references are released under application

Risk spectrum

Every mandate sits somewhere on the curve. You choose where.

Ordered by the risk each mandate is built to carry, not by what it returned last quarter. Further right means more volatility accepted in exchange for more upside. Nothing here is a promise of either.

Who it is for

Built for Active and Passive Capital, enhancing performance and reducing fees.

01 / Family offices

Allocated Beside Your Managers

Run alongside the existing book rather than in place of it, sized to whatever share of the mandate you decide.

  • Sits beside your managers, not above them
  • Reported in the account you already hold
  • Sized and stopped by you at any time
02 / Funds and desks

Licensed To Your Infrastructure

The engine runs inside your own environment, with your execution and your risk limits wrapped around it.

  • Direct licensing, not a pooled vehicle
  • Risk parameters documented per system
  • Full signal and execution transparency
03 / Private clients

Managed In Your Own Account

Open or connect a brokerage account in your own name and the systems trade inside it. Nothing is pooled.

  • Capital never leaves your name
  • Positions mirror the live systems
  • Withdraw on your own schedule
How it works

Choose the mandate. Connect the account. The engines do the rest.

There is no portal to learn, no signal to act on, and no trade for you to place. Once your brokerage account is connected to our engines, execution is automatic and continuous, and you watch it happen in the platform you already use.

01

Select a mandate

Pick the portfolio that matches the risk you want to carry, from the conservative Cores through to the directional books. Blend more than one if that suits the allocation.

02

Connect your account

Open or link a brokerage account in your own name and grant trading authority only. Funding stays with you, withdrawal rights stay with you, and nothing is pooled.

03

The engines execute

Your account joins the live engine. Entries, sizing, and exits are placed automatically around the clock, on risk defined before each position is opened.

01 · Your side

Your Brokerage Account

Opened in your name and funded by you. Trading authority only, revocable by you at any moment.

02 · Our side

The Algo Alpha Engines

Reading every covered market without pause, scoring what repeats, and placing entries, sizing, and exits automatically.

03 · Included

Your Own Dashboard

Reporting is part of the mandate, not an add-on. Live positions, month-end statements, and your account measured against the system it tracks.

Included with every mandate
  • Live executionEvery market the mandate covers, placed around the clock without you touching it.
  • Your own dashboardPositions, fills, and balances as they happen, in a view built for you rather than for us.
  • Month-end statementsReconciled and delivered on schedule. You never have to ask for them.
  • Measured against the systemYour account shown next to the mandate it tracks, so any divergence is visible immediately.
  • The risk framework in writingThe rules the engine trades under, documented rather than described.
  • Access to the deskA person who knows your mandate, not a ticket queue.

Trading authority only. The engines can open and close positions in your account. They cannot move a dollar out of it.

Custody

It can trade your account. It cannot touch your money.

The strategy runs inside a brokerage account opened in your name, funded by you, withdrawable by you. We are never in the middle of it.

Never Pooled

Your capital is not commingled with other clients or with ours. It sits in your account under your name.

Never Withdrawn

Trading authority is not withdrawal authority. We can place and close positions. We cannot move funds.

Never Obscured

You see the same positions, fills, and balances we do, in your own platform, at the same moment.
