The leading provider of quant technologies
Our Story
SigTech offers quant technologies for global investors and data owners. Cloud-hosted and Python-based, SigTech accelerates the data-driven investment process, from research to live trading. The platform integrates an industry leading backtesting engine with clean, validated data across asset classes. SigTech eliminates the expensive upfront costs of infrastructure build-out, giving clients an edge in alpha generation from day one.
The SigTech platform was originally built over eight years ago to manage systematic investments at Brevan Howard, which remains a SigTech client today. After the spinoff into an independent company in early 2019, the team has grown substantially and established SigTech as the leading provider of quant technologies.
