About Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrency’s are an emerging asset class which first debuted with the creation of Bitcoin. They represent recent innovations in payment technology associated with the concept of a blockchain and are designed to work as a medium of exchange powering networks. Cryptography is at the core of cryptocurrencies securing transactions and controlling the creation of additional units of the currency. There are now over 1000 cryptocurrency’s which can be traded with a market cap of over $100 billion (June 2017). Specialist knowledge and tools are required to navigate these highly volatile markets. Coinstrats offers intelligent exposure to such an asset class through its computational power, knowledge of the asset class’s market dynamics and underlying technology.

About CoinStrats

Coinstrats uses cutting edge scientific research techniques to power our investment decisions in financial markets. At the core of our firm is data, technology and innovation which guide us in our research and development of investment systems. The co-founders, Andrew Mann, Ross Philips and David Twomey met at University College London (UCL) during their PhDs in Computer Science. Having previously all worked in investment banking and hedge funds, a shared passion for cryptocurrencies, data driven systems and machine learning brought them together to found Coinstrats. The continuing aim of Coinstrats is to provide intelligent exposure to the emerging cryptocurrency asset class.

At Coinstrats we believe in the scientific method. We gather, clean and utilise large datasets (structured and unstructured) to power our investment systems. A rigorous approach to research and development is taken to ensure the highest quality output for our investors. We are constantly critiquing the results of research to enhance and refine findings which can add significant value.

We search for inefficiencies and undervalued assets using techniques such as pattern recognition, machine learning, data visualisation and mathematical modelling. When trading signals are discovered they go through a demanding verification and testing process. This process seeks to understand the mechanics of every component of a signal to ensure investment decisions are underpinned on complexity that is fully understood.
