Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Physical cobalt buys at seven-year lows create alpha from inventory arbitrage and liquidity shifts.
- Copper lead Tom Mackay joining in October 2026 strengthens multi-metal optionality and relative-value trades.
- Hybrid strategy pairing quantitative signals with commodity logistics taps new alpha sources in volatile markets.
What critics are saying
- Cobalt longs are crowded; DRC export ban end could flood supply and trigger price squeeze within 6-12 months.
- Spot prices at $12.5-$15/lb reflect oversupply; weak EV demand may worsen downside in inventory positions.
- 76% cobalt supply in DRC creates policy shock risk; copper expansion adds macro-sensitive timing pressure on P&L.
What makes Squarepoint Capital unique
- Squarepoint blends quantitative models with physical cobalt trading to exploit distressed battery metals.
- Hired cobalt veteran Tony Southgate in June 2026 to build EV supply-chain access from London.
- Combines trading, research, and machine learning to deploy fully automated strategies across global markets.

Company News
Cerby has raised $54 million in Series B funding from investors including Deloitte Ventures, Engage Fund, Squarepoint and Valor to address enterprise security challenges posed by disconnected applications. The platform automates identity management for applications lacking SSO or SCIM support. The company reported 130% year-over-year ARR growth and tripled its six-figure accounts, with a 130% net revenue retention rate. Cerby has appointed new executives including Ernie Tkac as chief revenue officer and Manny Ataebi as chief marketing officer, whilst launching the Vanguard Partner Programme. The platform bridges the gap between modern identity protocols and legacy or niche applications by wrapping security controls around apps not built for them, enabling automated provisioning, MFA enforcement and centralised access management across enterprise environments.
