About | Algo Alpha

Mission

To give allocators the AI trading desk the largest funds keep to themselves.

The first problem is what it costs. Expense ratios, management fees, and performance fees that take a fifth of a good year compound against a family office in the one direction that matters. They are charged whether or not anyone earned them: on the fund that bought the top because inflows arrived that morning, and on the manager who has not looked at the position since. The fee buys the mandate to deploy. It does not buy the judgement to enter well.

Over a decade that drag is not a line item. It is a meaningful share of the wealth the family actually built.

The second problem is that the good sleeves are shut. Capacity is full. The fund stopped taking outside capital two vintages ago. The allocation you want is open only to whoever was already inside when it was open, and the answer you get is a waiting list rather than a term sheet. Being right about a strategy and being able to access it have never been the same thing.

An AI desk carries neither constraint. It runs the same way at ten million as at two hundred, it does not close a vintage, and it arrives in an account your desk already controls rather than in a vehicle you have to be admitted to.

Leadership

Our Leadership Team and Experience.

Algo Alpha was founded by two people who still run it, supported by engineering and quantitative research teams drawn from institutional and defence programmes.

Chairman & Chief Executive

Robert J. Miller

Co-founder. Sets the research agenda, the risk framework every system trades under, and the standard that no strategy is released until it has run on our own capital first.

President, Business Development

Wences Navarro

Co-founder. Runs the institutional relationships, from first conversation through mandate selection, account structure, and the reporting a committee actually needs.

Institutional development

Engineering

Builds the execution layer, the risk controls, and the infrastructure the mandates run on. Alumni of programmes where a failed system was not a support ticket.

Quantitative research

Modelling

Builds the valuation frameworks and the analysis that decides when the evidence is there. Research first, engineering second.

Team alumni of NASA and the US Department of Defense Backed by Initiative Equity Partners and Venture Suite

Operating constraints

What this structure does not permit.

What protects an allocator is rarely a promise. It is the list of things the manager has no ability to do. Ours is short, and it is enforced by the account structure rather than by our own good conduct.

Hold your moneyCapital sits with a regulated broker in your name. We are granted trading authority and never request withdrawal rights.

Pool your capitalNothing is commingled with other clients or with ours. One account, one owner, one set of positions.

Hide a positionYou see the same fills and balances we do, in your own platform, at the same moment we see them.

Promise a returnWe publish records and drawdowns, including the negative ones. We do not forecast, and we never will.

Lock you inTrading authority is revocable by you at any hour without our involvement, notice period, or penalty.

Manually trade your accountNobody here reaches into a live book by hand. If a rule was wrong, the rule gets fixed, tested, and documented.
