Welcome to J&D Strategies
Our Story
J&D Strategies was founded at the University of Birmingham by two Computer Science students with a shared vision: to bridge technology and finance through data-driven innovation. What began as a university-based quant research initiative has evolved into a multi-strategy hedge fund built on algorithmic precision, disciplined risk management, and collaborative intelligence. Operating across Birmingham and Hong Kong, we combine computational thinking with a global market perspective — deploying systematic and discretionary strategies across equities, indices, and macro assets. At our core, J&D Strategies represents the next generation of investment thinking: agile, tech-first, and relentlessly focused on performance, adaptability, and integrity.
Our Community
We believe the foundation of long-term success lies in community and collaboration. Founded by friends at the University of Birmingham, J&D Strategies continues to grow through a network of ambitious students, developers, and market thinkers who share our passion for data-driven innovation and quantitative finance. Our multi-strategy framework thrives on collective intelligence — uniting research, technology, and market insight to create adaptive investment models. We value curiosity, continuous learning, and shared progress, empowering the next generation of quants and technologists to think bigger, test smarter, and build together.
Our Features
Our platform integrates technology, research, and execution under one roof — powering the multi-strategy infrastructure behind J&D Strategies. From quantitative research and systematic equities to macro and index strategies, we deploy a full-stack approach to modern investing. Leveraging backtested models, automated execution systems, and real-time analytics, we transform complex data into actionable insights. Transparency, optimization, and scalability form the core of our process — enabling precise, adaptive, and sustainable alpha generation across global markets.
Our Philosophy
At J&D Strategies, our philosophy is built on the harmony between data and discipline. We view global markets as adaptive ecosystems that reward structured innovation, rigorous research, and consistent execution. Every strategy we develop seeks equilibrium — blending creativity in model design with precision in risk control.
We approach quantitative investing as a dialogue between human intuition and machine logic, guided by integrity, patience, and adaptive thinking. Each model we deploy reflects a balance between statistical confidence and practical judgment. Through this philosophy, we aim to redefine modern multi-strategy investing — transparent, systematic, and performance-driven, yet always grounded in the human insight that powers every algorithm we create.
Our Process
Our research and portfolio development framework is built on continuous improvement and technological precision. We start with data acquisition and hypothesis generation — leveraging both traditional financial metrics and alternative datasets to uncover actionable inefficiencies across markets.
Each idea progresses through a structured three-stage pipeline: Research, Testing, and Deployment. During Research, we analyze macro and micro trends, engineer proprietary indicators, and construct predictive signals. In Testing, every model undergoes rigorous backtesting, forward validation, and stress simulation across diverse market regimes to ensure robustness. Finally, in Deployment, only the most resilient systems are transitioned into live execution environments with defined risk parameters. This disciplined process enables J&D Strategies to evolve continuously — adapting to volatility, structural change, and emerging opportunities while preserving the integrity of our core strategies.
Our Focus
We focus on developing multi-strategy investment frameworks that thrive on diversification and adaptability. Our research spans global equities, ETFs, commodities, and volatility products — across time horizons ranging from intraday trading to long-term allocation.
Our core expertise lies in regime detection, factor rotation, and volatility modelling, blending quantitative pattern recognition with macroeconomic awareness to generate consistent, risk-adjusted performance. Beyond returns, our mission extends to building a scalable infrastructure that integrates automation, risk analytics, and cross-market execution. Every system we design serves a singular purpose — to transform data into structured insight, and structured insight into measurable results.
