Monetizing Volatility Across Digital Assets

AlphabetIM designs institutional-grade quantitative investment solutions for professional investors on digital assets

Philosophy

  • Digital markets stand out by the complexity of their drivers, the need for robust risk management processes and asset safety requirements. 
  • Institutional players are struggling to find the path to crypto markets as the digital space still lacks standards of excellence, reliability and security.

  • AlphabetIM aims at bridging the gap between traditional and digital assets by providing institutional-grade investment solutions generating alpha to your benchmark and matching your risk aversion and professionalism requirements. 
  • In order to fulfill its goals, AlphabetIM relies on proven processes: every aspect of our work is modelized, questioned and documented. This is at the core of our approach.

Investment Factory

  • AlphabetIM has developed an end to end proprietary capacity from signal research framework to risk-management dashboards through automatic executions. ​

  • You define the objectives and the constraints; and the investment factory builds your optimized investment solution.

  • Our automatons support multiple legs orders on different venues and/or products with latency controls and top-notch execution risk management.
