A research firm built for serious capital.
August Quants is a quantitative research firm. We work with hedge funds, asset managers, family offices, proprietary trading firms, and the most demanding professional investors — helping them think with more rigour and act on better information. Clients build, allocate and execute their own decisions.
Quant research without the theatre.
We are deliberately quiet. Our work is judged by the institutions we serve, not by social-media virality. The firm exists to do hard research carefully, and to deliver it to clients who value insight over spectacle.
Four principles that govern our work.
They sound simple. Applied consistently, they make the difference between a backtest and a business.
Economic intuition first
Every signal we publish or trade has a coherent economic or behavioural explanation. If we cannot explain why it works, we do not size it.
Honest statistics
We use cross-validated, regime-aware and capacity-aware testing. We are explicit about multiple-comparison risk — not implicit, like most published research.
Risk is sized, not assumed
Volatility is targeted. Drawdowns are budgeted. Risk is described in dollars and probabilities, not stories.
Implementation is part of the research
Execution quality, microstructure and transaction costs are first-class research subjects, not afterthoughts.
Built for institutional readers.
