Affor Analytics started as a systematic trading firm, born from the idea that financial markets could be approached with a more data-driven and automated strategy. In 2019, one of our founders—then working at a proprietary trading desk—saw the potential to move beyond traditional, discretionary trading. With support from the desk, we began developing a robust systematic strategy, focusing on automation, data infrastructure, and scalability.

By 2021, our strategy was live, backed by a strong data pipeline and cloud-based infrastructure. Over time, we refined our models, optimizing for efficiency, precision, and performance.

However, as we continued to evolve, we recognized a broader need in the industry—many investment firms wanted to adopt AI and quantitative solutions but lacked the in-house expertise to do so. Having built and tested these systems firsthand, we knew the challenges firms faced because we had been there ourselves.

In 2023, we pivoted from running our own fund to providing AI-driven quant solutions for the financial sector. Today, we help investment firms streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and unlock new efficiencies—leveraging the same technology and expertise that powered our own trading.
