▸ Fund management Capital allocated across validated strategies.
# principles
— Evidence before narrative A result counts once it holds out of sample, not when it reads well.
— Reproducible by default Research and the live system share one codebase and one data path.
— Risk sized first Exposure is decided before the signal, never after a good month.
— Whoever builds it, runs it No handover between research and trading.
# objectives
— An uncorrelated book Independent strategies running across all three markets.
— Cheap experiments Infrastructure that makes testing a new idea a day's work.
— External capital Managing third-party money on the process we use ourselves.
— A team that compounds Researchers and engineers who own their work end to end.
