Let's Hunt for Alpha Together
Sighting In
​
Core Edge will work with your Portfolio Managers to identify key signals that, if acquired, could significantly enhance your returns. Working together, we will prioritize these signals to minimize the difficulty of data collection and eventual signal reconstruction while maximizing your portfolio returns.
Data Collection
​
At Core Edge, we have a wide array of data collection technologies and methodologies at our disposal, including AI-driven web scraping, geolocation, social networks, radio frequency, and automatic collection of data emanating from public IT infrastructure. Our team will leverage select capabilities approved by your compliance officers to collect the most valuable raw data.
Feature Engineering
​
The next step is to transform collected raw data into informative signals that have predictive power over financial variables. To achieve this, our team relies on strong in-house expertise in information theory, signal processing, visualization, weighing, classifiers, and other feature importance techniques.
Trading Strategy
​
Our team will reassemble the designated signals from the most informative features and, together with your portfolio managers, transform this into a profitable trading strategy.
Backtesting and Verification
​
Core Edge can assist in assessing the profitability of an investment strategy under different scenarios, the most obvious of which is how the strategy would perform if history repeated itself. However, that is merely one of the possible outcomes of a stochastic process, and not necessarily the most likely one to occur. Our team will evaluate many other scenarios, consistent with our knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed strategy.
