Systematic equities research and portfolio management

From a universe of stocks to a trade list you can audit.

Hadron Capital runs the whole systematic process in one place: factors, signals, constrained optimisation and backtesting, with machine-learning scores as an option. Every number on a result can be traced to the rebalance that produced it.

Platform

Every layer of the pipeline

Six stages, each feeding the next, and each inspectable on its own.

Universe

Index membership history by date, with a warning on any backtest whose universe is not point-in-time.

Factors

85+ cross-sectional factors computed nightly from prices and fundamentals.

Signals

18+ signals built from those factors, each weighted by its measured predictive power.

ML scores (optional)

A gradient-boosted model, scored point-in-time. Blended into the signals only when a mandate gives it a weight.

Optimiser

Seven methods under sector, region and asset-class constraints.

Trades

Target weights turned into share-level orders with costs applied.

Capabilities

What you can do with it

Backtests you can audit

Every rebalance stores the positions before and after, each trade and its cost. Headline returns are reconciled against the audit trail on the page.

Risk beyond a Sharpe ratio

Factor exposures, historical and synthetic stress scenarios, regime-conditional performance and transaction-cost sensitivity for every run.

Attribution at two levels

Which signals carried the result, and Brinson allocation, selection and interaction effects by sector at each rebalance.

Mandates, not parameters

A strategy is an investment policy: universe, risk tolerance, position limits and rebalance frequency. The optimiser reports when a mandate cannot be satisfied.

Paper-traded live strategies

Promote a backtest and it is marked to market every trading day against its benchmark, with a rebalance blotter when weights drift.

Two views of the same result

Expert shows the full desk. Simple explains the same backtest in plain language for a reader who is not scanning for ratios.

Built by a physicist turned quant

Hadron Capital is created by Kingsley Emelideme, who worked on the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider before moving to quantitative equity research. The platform applies the same rule the experiment did: nothing is trusted until it has been checked against the data.
