Libertas per veritatem
Vision
To advance human progress by maximizing capital efficiency through mathematics, science, and engineering.
Mission
Through algorithmic and quantitative trading improved by continuous research, produce the maximum profit for the company, its employees, and the investors.
Freedom through Truth
Trading is a process of reallocating capital. To profit in trading is to be faster than others at deciding where the capital must rightly be. It is to opportunely provide capital to entities that are the most effective in making progress; conversely, it is also to deleverage those who are less efficient, or even creating negative impact. Therefore, every millisecond we capture as profit accelerates the emergence and the growth of new technologies and industries.
In making such contributions, the pure Truth obtained via mathematics, science, and engineering is our only means of operation. It is against our methods to impose authority, manipulate regulations, or persuade through impression.
In our pursuit of the truth, as we accelerate the evolution of human civilization, we are awarded capital. Larger capital enables more choice. More choice begets more freedom. Capital, which is the by-product of our vocation, is our version of deciphered freedom.
Hence Freedom through Truth, id est Libertas per veritatem.
