Today we are a leader in the field of quantitative finance, known for our rigorous scientific, systematic, and model-driven approach to investing, with multiple billions in assets under management. Peter Muller, Founder and CEO, and a small group of managing partners lead around 200 scientists, engineers, and professionals in New York and London.
