About
We are a financial consultancy firm focused on delivering trading strategies with attractive and sustainable performance to our clients.
The story of Keynum Investments began in 2010 at the Forecasting Financial Markets international conference on quantitative finance. Hans-Jörg von Mettenheim and Sylvain Barthélémy shared the belief that mathematical and statistical methods do generate long-term sustainable returns. They started to develop quantitative trading strategies and a fully automated trading advisory system in 2013.
Hans-Jörg and Sylvain founded Keynum Investment in 2017. The company now provides quantitative trading strategies for banking institutions, funds, funds of funds, family offices and high net worth individuals.
Most of us have been involved for several years or even decades in economic consulting and quantitative investment strategies.
A Network of Researchers
We work with an International network of researchers, practitioners and software developers. Most of us have been involved for several years or even decades in economic consulting and quantitative investment strategies.
We have diverse backgrounds (quantitative traders, mathematicians, economists and engineers), but we all share a passion for the development and implementation of practical quantitative trading algorithms.
