"Volatility is an instrument of truth"

WELCOME

Volatility as a concept is widely misunderstood. Volatility is not fear. Volatility is not the VIX index. Volatility is not a statistic or a standard deviation or a number derived by an abstract formula.

Volatility in markets and life is one of the same.

Regardless of how it is measured, volatility reflects the difference between the world as we imagine it to be and the world that actually exists.

We can only prosper if we seek nothing but the truth, otherwise truth will find us through volatility.

Our company mission is to exceed expectations

At Euler Capital, we create opportunity from change and chaos arising from global financial markets. Our focus is on investment, research and technology by deploying quantitative, systematic and behavioral based trading models to transform volatility into opportunity. We focus on generating alpha from both our long and short strategies in an uncorrelated and sustainable way, while structurally owning exposure for non-linear payoffs during periods of high volatility and periods of chaos.

We process information in search of truth, transparency and an idea meritocracy driven by meaningful work and meaningful relationships. After multiple years of market simulations, back-testing and extreme scenario analysis, we deployed our own personal capital to generate alpha during periods of volatility upheaval and systemic crisis while other traders and portfolio managers incurred massive draw-downs on their funds and products.

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

‘Engineering systems to understand the world’

Our philosophy is that the world can be understood. We strive to build a fundamental, cause and effect understanding in everything we do – how global economies and markets work to how people think and make decisions differently. Our technologists collaborate with our researchers and managers to conceive, design, engineer and run platforms that enable systemization and scale in our domain.

‘We are more a technology firm than a trading company’

OUR APPROACH

We engineer platforms that help us develop a fundamental cause and effect understanding, test it and apply that understanding systematically. This requires unique approaches to data aggregation, ultra-fast execution of complex analytics, insightful visualisations and innovative platforms to represent and manipulate logic.

OUR TEAM

Euler’s people are purposefully drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds by design. Our unique success is the direct result of our unique way of being.

Our distinct way of studying the world combines a systematic approach to learning with an idea meritocracy where the best ideas win out, resulting in the deepest possible understanding of markets and economies. We are relentlessly inquisitive and innovative by nature.

Leigh has been a student of the markets and an individual trader since his teen years and currently chairs the investment committee providing the insights of a polymath. He recently completed a double master’s in Financial Analysis and an MBA focusing on investment, risk and quantitative methods. The study of volatility is near and dear to his heart and he is passionately dedicated to research, technology and the development of quantitative, systematic and behavioral based trading models to transform volatility into opportunity. Most of all, Leigh thrives on bringing the best people together to challenge established thinking and figuring out what is true and how, to best deal with it, while promoting a culture of truth, transparency and an idea meritocracy. He enjoys history, philosophy, cooking and an all - round outdoors junkie.

Fatemeh has a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering. She completed her Ph.D. in Mathematics, in 2019 from Swinburne University of Technology. The focus of her thesis was on the mathematical modelling of the chemotherapeutic agents and their interactions with the cancerous cells. The outcome of the research leads to the “less is more” concept, which implies less dosage of the chemotherapy in more frequent injections shows more therapeutic effects. She was conferred the first Maryam Mirzakhani Award for her outstanding research. Currently, she is in the last year of her Ph.D. in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Her expertise is in Graph signal Processing, including heterogeneous graphs. More recently, she has been working on the Algorithm Unrolling Concept in order to eliminate the black box aspect of Neural Networks.
