Investment Strategies

Three strategies.
Three sources of edge.

Each strategy targets a distinct structural inefficiency. Designed to be uncorrelated in signal genesis and execution timing. Full documentation available to qualified counterparties on request.

Strategy Overview
01
Volatility Arbitrage
Cross-Exchange Volatility Arbitrage

Systematic capture of implied volatility mispricings between India's two primary index options markets. Structural separation of exchanges creates persistent, mean-reverting IV spreads exploitable with short-duration, market-neutral positions.

How We Work

Research-driven.
Production-validated.

Investment Philosophy

Markets are inefficient.
Temporarily.

Exploitable mispricings arise from structural forces — liquidity constraints, behavioural bias, and the mechanics of how risk is transferred between participants.

Our edge is built on rigorous quantitative research, adaptive parameter optimisation, and disciplined execution. Every strategy is data-derived and continuously validated against live market conditions.

We do not rely on leverage as a substitute for signal quality. Return generation is a function of model precision, not position-sizing excess.

α
Alpha first
Every position requires a clearly defined, testable source of edge. No weak signals amplified by leverage.
Model discipline
Parameters are data-adaptive, never hand-tuned. Overfitting treated as first-order risk.
Risk as input
Risk embedded at the research stage — drawdown thresholds and correlation limits are structural constraints.
Live validation
All strategies run against live data before capital commitment. Verifiable production record available.
Three Pillars
01
Research-Driven

Every strategy begins with a hypothesis grounded in market microstructure or behavioural finance theory. Built from first principles and validated against its target regime before any capital is committed. Research is continuous; deployment follows extensive out-of-sample testing.

02
Adaptive Systems

Parameters are not static. We use differential evolution and Bayesian updating frameworks to ensure models remain calibrated to current conditions rather than historical artefacts. Preventing overfitting is a structural constraint, not an afterthought.

03
Production Integrity

Hard separation between backtest and live environments. All infrastructure — data ingestion, signal computation, execution, monitoring — is proprietary and purpose-built. Strategies run continuously, producing a verifiable daily record shareable under NDA.

About the Firm

Two decades of
derivatives expertise.

Paris-based systematic trading firm with offices in Mumbai and Hong Kong, built on 20+ years of options, derivatives, and quantitative strategy experience.

Systematic trading,
built from the ground up.

Epirus Consultancy operates at the intersection of quantitative finance and systems engineering. We do not just build strategies — we build the full technology stack required to run them reliably in production, at scale, with minimal latency between signal and execution.

The firm was founded by a derivatives specialist with over 20 years of experience across options markets, volatility trading, and quantitative strategy development. The transition from discretionary to systematic was deliberate — driven by a conviction that the most durable sources of edge are structural, rules-based, and verifiable.

All three live strategies were built from first principles, validated extensively out-of-sample, and run through live production infrastructure before any capital commitment. We do not separate the research function from the operational function — the same rigour governs both.

We are headquartered in Paris with offices in Mumbai and Hong Kong, and engage selectively with institutional allocators, family offices, and principals at systematic multi-manager platforms.
