CSO Capital uses quantitative models and strategies that are based on extensive internally funded scientific research conducted since 2008. In the course of identifying profit opportunities, CSO Capital analyzes an enormous amount of data associated with thousands of financial instruments, along with various factors not associated with any one such instrument. Data is obtained from many countries throughout the world, and covers a wide range of asset classes. When this analytical process yields a new model the firm believes to be of predictive value, it becomes eligible for deployment within one or more trading strategies, in some cases along with a dozen or more other models involving some of the same financial instruments, but arising from different market inefficiencies.
