Investment Strategy

TCM proprietary algorithms trade the daily price movement of highly liquid global indices using advanced artificial intelligence techniques. Professor Desmond Lun has a PhD from MIT and has been an academic/professor at MIT/Harvard/Rutgers for 15 years. He is one of the leading authorities in mathematical models that predict the behaviour of biological systems. His scientific accomplishments includes several patents (US Patent Nos. 7414978, 8126235, and (pending) PCT/US2014/59503, PCT/US2012/27219), the book Network Coding, over 30 academic papers, and over 4,000 academic citations. For the last 10 years, he has designed and traded systematic strategies to profit from his theories in data science.

Predicting the daily movement of global indices using quantitative techniques derived from modelling biological systems is unique and challenging. To manage risk, long and short positions are negatively correlated, and a diversified suite of highly liquid global indices are traded. The TCM strategy is differentiated from traditional quantitative strategies by its learning capabilities, which allow it to continually evolve.
