What?
At Duality Institute, we do two things in parallel: research and trading — hence the name "Duality".
Why?
Two reasons drive the dual-mandate:
- Trading provides greater social value by supporting scientific research.
- Fully-autonomous AI research & trading can significantly boost efficiency to make such dual-mandate possible.
How?
We adopt a phased approach with three key steps:
- Research
- Build CILA, our Gen-AI model specialized for trading, as our first client-facing product.
- Apply CILA to two core domains: quantitative research and discretionary trading.
- Trading
- Paper trading AI discretionary traders.
- Explore fully-autonomous AI quantitative research & alpha generation.
- Live-trading using internal capital first and expand to raise client capital after.
- Duality Model
- AI-powered trading can free up significant capital and talent for other high-impact research.
- With initial research funding from the trading business, we plan to expand into new scientific research domains.
