A Hybrid Approach to Investing in the Markets

Pearl River Capital, LLC ("PRC") is a quantitative investment advisor based in Southwest Michigan. Comprised of a passionate team of quantitative analysts, research scientists, and software engineers, we trade markets around the world, 24 hours a day. We use a wide variety of diversified signal types to generate alpha for our managed accounts, including technical indicators, fundamental balance sheet data, and news events. Through relentless curiosity, perpetual research, and open collaboration, the PRC team works to continuously adapt to the ever-changing financial markets.

Quantitative Research and Signal Analysis

Our quantitative approach is designed to meet our risk tolerance objectives and stand up against market volatility while providing robust and reliable investment returns. Our high-speed proprietary trading platform is able to digest a broad spectrum of real-time data, creating a scalable environment that can expand across alpha timescales.

Fundamental Research Through Data Science

While running a fully automated quantitative infrastructure, we persistently inject fundamental market analysis into our investment process by incorporating signals originating from a broad spectrum of corporate events, quarterly reports, and news releases. This "fundamental" awareness provides additional alpha and scale.
