Overview

Headlands Technologies uses statistical models to develop and run algorithmic trading strategies for exchange-traded securities. Its software analyzes market data in real time and automatically places trades across electronic venues while monitoring risk. Unlike some peers, the firm is privately funded and does not take outside investment, which gives it control over its capital and decisions, with offices in Chicago, London, and San Francisco. The goal is to earn profits by efficiently executing automated trading across global markets while maintaining disciplined risk controls.
