About the company

Scientech Research Capital is a proprietary quantitative trading firm that uses scientific principles and advanced technology to trade in major global electronic markets with its own capital. The company builds and constantly refines trading models through quantitative research conducted by scientists and technologists, processing large data sets and connecting to about 10 exchanges worldwide to support a daily trading volume around 1 billion. Its products are data-driven trading strategies and an infrastructure platform for multi-asset trading. Unlike many peers, Scientech emphasizes a rigorous, research-led approach and extensive global connectivity to maintain a competitive edge and serve institutional clients. The firm aims to expand its multi-asset trading and research platform to global markets and grow its revenue from proprietary trading by capitalizing on market inefficiencies and volatility.
