Why Qi?
Our core belief is that a scientific approach to analysing financial markets can be combined with human judgment to enhance performance and better understand risk.
Successful investing is better served by evidence and objective analysis rather than gut feel and subjective opinion. This is especially true in a highly complex, interconnected and data-rich investment environment.

How it Works
Qi has brought together experienced investors, leading academics, cloud computing and machine learning to create a quantitative framework that untangles market complexity. This involves taking large amounts of relevant data, filtering and normalising this data, and then applying rigorous mathematical techniques to identify patterns between asset prices and macro information, taking particular care to avoid overfitting.
Qi’s adaptive framework measures the sensitivity of thousands of asset prices to a large number of macro variables, quantifies macro risk and calculates valuation anomalies. An optimisation solution has also been developed to identify portfolios with specific, desired macro characteristics, which forms the basis of Qi’s Thematic Equity Baskets offering.
