Aspect Capital Winner

London-based Aspect Capital uses a statistical, evidence-based approach, along with technology, to create investments that diversify risks in client portfolios. Founded in 1997, the firm prides itself on having a process of continuous improvement and evolving the rules that govern its investment practices to achieve client and firm goals.

The firm bases its investment process on the idea that market prices include predictable and measurable behaviors and that capturing those signals—and constantly searching for evidence in data—enables the strategies to realize gains through disciplined, technology-driven algorithmic trading.

Investing in futures and forward contracts across highly liquid markets, Aspect works to harvest opportunities in uncertain and volatile markets. The firm strives to provide its investors adaptive, agile and resilient risk-mitigating portfolios that work best over longer holding periods, countering the persistent, episodic and unpredictable nature of markets and trends.
