A decade of refinement

SigTech’s quant infrastructure has been refined by a decade of serving global institutional investors, leading to unparalleled breadth and intricacy.

SigTech enabled us to backtest and deploy new systematic trading strategies in record time. Now, our fund has cutting-edge in-house quant capabilities enabling the team to create maximum value for clients.

Obsessively precise trade simulation

Standard backtesting approaches often rely on approximations to simulate real-life historical trading conditions. These inaccuracies can accumulate, creating significant slippage between backtest and live results — slowing down strategy development at best, and creating costly illusions at worst. SigTech’s framework is defined by an uncompromising commitment to accuracy at the most granular level.

Precise trading costs: We apply historical trading costs at the time of execution, in the specific location of the transaction, for the particular instrument and trade type, and accounting for the client’s in-house trade information.

Granular market impact: Trade sizes and participation rates are carefully accounted for in modeling a transaction’s market impact, providing a true reflection of the market dynamics.

Time-of-day modeling: Our system accommodates market changes throughout the trading day in a given market — vital for stop-loss strategies and recognizing periods of market stress and crowding.

Build bespoke investment strategies

The platform was extremely easy to use and I had the entire toolkit at my fingertips from data, backtesting to production. Algo allocation is complex but SigTech made it intuitive to build the strategies, even for our most ambitious ideas… SigTech has exactly what we need to help launch our funds and is a reliable and trustworthy partner along the way.
