Bummetje weet het beter dan 100 geleerden ... goed om te weten. Helaas maakt Bummetje geen centje winst en deze jongens wel.
Maar de huis-tuin-keuken TA traders. Dit zijn wel de profi's tegen wie jij op moet boksen. Fair fight?
Research lies at the core of Winton.
The company believes that managing investors’ assets is a long-term exercise. Achieving consistent returns over a period of years is only possible if Winton knows more than other participants in the financial and commodities markets.
Markets are not efficient under all circumstances and price movements do not necessarily follow unpredictable random walks. Winton's edge lies in using scientific research to capture patterns in market behaviour, that while hard to discover, do exist and can provide advantage for those able to exploit them.
Unanticipated market moves do happen and historically these upset the financial markets. Winton has set out to build systems that aim to yield positive returns under all market conditions, whether trending or volatile.
Winton seeks to build on its body of discovery by constantly improving its trading systems, designed scientifically to produce optimum returns. To accomplish this goal, Winton is dedicated to attracting, motivating and retaining exceptional individuals, from established academics with an international reputation to those whose careers have just begun.
THE FINANCIAL MARKETS ARE OUR LABORATORY.
Winton was founded on the principle that robust statistical research provides the richest and most reliable source of information on market behaviour. By remaining true to this core belief the company has created a singular, academic, environment able to thrive in today’s competitive global finance industry.
Winton’s research continues to be directed by David Harding and constitutes the largest area of growth within the company. Over the past decade Winton has developed proprietary trading systems utilising mathematical algorithms derived from advanced statistical analysis of historical market data. These dynamic, continuously evolving systems are designed to perform in a wide spectrum of market conditions and to take advantage of opportunities that may appear during times of market distress.
The company currently employs close to 100 researchers, ranging from recent postgraduates to some of the most respected academic minds in the world, with a wide range of scientific backgrounds. Winton’s researchers hail from over 25 countries and hold postgraduate degrees in a variety of fields including operations research, statistics, climatology, actuarial science, extragalactic astrophysics and financial mathematics. By applying their diverse skill sets to the challenges involved in systematic trading, Winton’s researchers share a common talent in developing innovative solutions to complex problems.
The research department is located at three key centres – Oxford, London and Hong Kong. These relaxed, but stimulating, working environments foster both creativity and collaboration.
