Our Strategy

Systematic portfolio construction powered by PSO

Discover SQT Strategy

The core of SQT’s strategy relies on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), an algorithm inspired by collective intelligence in nature. In financial markets, PSO enables SQT to explore a vast space of portfolio weight combinations and efficiently converge toward robust allocations that balance return and risk.

Each “particle” represents a potential portfolio, and through iterative interaction with the swarm, it gradually moves closer to the most stable and effective solution. This method is particularly valuable in non-linear and noisy market environments where traditional optimization techniques often fall short.

SQT’s Approach
to Portfolio Construction

Our approach combines:

  • Diverse data inputs
  • Systematic feature engineering
  • Stochastic simulations

This allows SQT to produce allocations that remain resilient across market regimes.

Risk Management
at SQT

Risk management is embedded throughout the process:

  • Exposure and liquidity checks before trade execution
  • Volatility targeting and drawdown controls during live trading
  • Continuous monitoring and performance attribution after execution

By integrating swarm intelligence into portfolio construction, SQT’s strategy captures attractive opportunities while maintaining a disciplined and consistent risk profile over time.
