Who we are

We are a small Scottish company specialising in machine learning and artificial intelligence for highly-automated hedge funds.

We are developing a new generation of trading systems that learn continually. Our first product, called TRAITS, is a computer program that makes daily trading decisions for a long/short equity hedge fund in an entirely automated way.
