29.4%
A market neutral AI engine that learns which companies will win and which will lag, aiming to profit from the gap between them rather than the market's direction. Out of sample, from 2014, it compounded at 29.4% a year on average while moving independently of the market. A genuine diversifier, with its own risks.

The idea

Returns that don't
need the market.

Apex makes the index work harder. Delta does something rarer. It holds equal bets for and against, so its returns come from picking winners and losers, not from the market going up. When stocks fall, Delta can still rise. That independence is exactly what makes a portfolio smoother, and the two strategies far stronger together than alone.

How it works

An engine that
reads the market.

Every month, an AI engine sorts hundreds of US companies into those most likely to outperform and those most likely to lag, then backs the winners and bets against the laggards in equal measure. No headlines, no hunches, no single stock gambles.

Learn

The engine studies two decades of market history to recognise the patterns that have separated future winners from losers.

Rank

Each month it scores hundreds of the most liquid US companies and sorts them from most to least promising.

Position

It backs the top names and bets against the bottom ones in equal amounts, so the overall market exposure cancels out.

Repeat

It refreshes on a fixed schedule with total discipline. No human second guessing, ever.

Why Delta

Built to be different.

Most strategies rise and fall with the market. Delta is designed to stand apart, which is exactly what makes it valuable next to everything else you hold.

Market neutral
≈ 0

It doesn't need the market to rise.

Equal long and short positions cancel out market direction, so Delta can perform in up years and down years alike.

Uncorrelated
+ diversify

Independent of the market.

Its returns barely move with equities, so adding Delta smooths the ride for the whole platform.

Breadth, not bets
~100

Spread across many names.

The edge is captured across roughly a hundred positions at once, never riding on a single company.

Status

Where it stands today.

Out of sample validated
The edge was measured on a window from 2014 the model was never trained on. Rank IC 0.078 (t 6.6), positive in about 64% of months.
Listed equities
Trades only listed US stocks, long and short. No derivatives, no lockups. Capacity is finite and part of what we're sizing.
Forward tracked
Executed on paper at Interactive Brokers since June 2026. The live, out of sample record is just beginning, and we publish it as it builds.
Research stage
A market neutral strategy in its research and shadow phase, not yet open to outside capital. Talk to us to follow the record as it grows.
