Using Technology to Improve Business Outcomes
We implement AI as a competitive advantage, to enhance human decision-making, increase efficiency, and manage risk. Our approach embeds technology directly into your core business operations, transforming how you work rather than simply automating what you already do.
Our Philosophy
Technology That Transforms Business Outcomes
We believe technology should be a strategic enabler, not just a cost center. Our approach is built on six core principles that ensure technology delivers measurable business value.
- Integrated with Core Business
Technology is not a separate support function but is embedded within the firm's operations and value proposition. At Adaven, this means using technology for everything from pricing algorithms and risk management to back-office systems.
- Enhancing Human Decision-Making
The primary purpose of technology is to provide portfolio managers and analysts with better analytics and data, which helps them make more informed and confident decisions. Human insight and deep market understanding remain critical for true outperformance, which technology should support, not override.
- Problem-Solving Focus
Software engineers work closely with the "domain problems" that need solving. The goal is to focus on solving specific commercial challenges, not just writing slick code for its own sake.
- Productivity and Efficiency
Technology serves as a productivity enhancement tool that saves time and streamlines workflows. Automating repetitive tasks allows employees to concentrate on more critical, high-value activities.
- Context-Specific Application
Certain technologies, like machine learning, are highly effective in specific scenarios, such as the data-rich, short-term horizons of market-making. However, these tools "break down" when applied to longer-term investment problems where systems are less stationary and historical data is less predictive of the future.
- Competitive Edge
The strategic application of technology in unique ways that others haven't imagined provides a sustainable competitive advantage. This requires continuous investment in modernizing systems to ensure the firm can move quickly.
