| Research AI/ML for Prediction |
| OptiRisk has made a significant effort in the past year to strengthen its Data Science and Analytics team. The team
has developed a few quantitative and machine learning models that predict market movement. We use a combination of quantitative and machine learning models to predict the index or asset's directional movement (UP/DOWN/FLAT). Predictions are combined by an ensemble approach; then processed by our proprietary asset allocation model of (SSD). |
|
 |
|
| Using this approach we have been able to create winning strategies for the Indian, Singapore and US markets. These strategies provide high-return yet low tail-risk and drawdown risk |
