Company mission

To achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders through the use of innovative quantitative investment strategies.

Our take

Istari Research Lab is a quantitative investment firm that utilises modern breakthroughs in technology to deliver sophisticated investment approaches. With a hyper-focus on reducing risk, the firm aims to mitigate the impact of the broader market and hence offer more stable returns.

Combining statistical analysis and software engineering, Istari's approach is to use these new technologies, such as machine learning, to identify and exploit specific inefficiencies in the market. This allows the company to deliver portfolios that are somewhat incubated from larger market risks - an attractive proposition particularly in such volatile times.

As a relatively small company, there are many directions in which Istari Research Labs could grow. For now, it appears the company is concentrating on building out a stellar team that can accelerate their development efforts and further streamline its strategy for the future.
