Where Research Meets Capital

Systematic strategies on real capital, crypto and equities. A portfolio of uncorrelated return streams is never finished. The research does not all have to come from inside the building.

The Work

What Happens Here

Three things. Each links to published evidence.

01

Research

Ideas become strategies only after robustness testing, out-of-sample validation and portfolio-level evaluation. Most do not survive it.

The robustness bar
02

Portfolio construction

Strategies are sized as parts of a portfolio, never in isolation: roughly 50 signal families across six equity sleeves, and 20+ systematic strategies in crypto.

How the sleeves fit together
03

Live execution

Signals, sizing and execution run through Robuxio's own infrastructure, on real capital, reported publicly every month.

The Record

Where The Work Ends Up

The equities sleeve against its benchmark, full history, crisis windows shaded. A proven sleeve joins this book. The bar is portfolio value, not a good year.

In the shaded stretches the market fell 52%, 34% and 25%. The portfolio gained through all three.

Growth of 1 unit, month-end, January 2008 to July 2026, on a logarithmic scale. Shaded: the global financial crisis, the COVID crash and the 2022 bear market. Simulated performance. The ETI began trading on 10 August 2026. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

What We Look For

Research That Survives Scrutiny

Skill you can demonstrate, not a good year. The same three questions every Robuxio strategy answers before it trades real money, asked of your work. The middle one decides whether a new sleeve earns its place.

Robustness

Does the result survive changes in parameters, periods and assumptions?

Portfolio Value

Does it add a genuinely different return stream, or repeat one we already run?

Real-World Implementation

Does it survive costs, liquidity, sizing and actual deployment?

We are always open to another return stream.

No seat is advertised. Prove the work and it can be implemented. Research that proves out is how the desk grows.
