The Technology
Inspired by AlphaGO and the M4 competition the team behind the Omphalos Fund started developing the technology in 2018 and launched the fund in January 2022. AI is at the heart of our investment strategy - this is what the next generation of asset management is all about! It enables us to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictive analyses that human managers or old-school IT platforms alone cannot. This leads to more informed and timely investment decisions.

Risk and exposure management
Risk and exposure management is integral to our investment process. We are continuously monitoring risk levels and exposure for the key asset classes by a dedicated team of experienced traders. In case of exceeding certain thresholds of exposure or market concentration, hedge positions are opened to limit the exposure and risk. The highest priority is to keep the risk low and have the highest possible diversification across financial instruments, asset classes and markets.
