Behind the Machine

About Us

Investifai applies the latest advances in artificial intelligence research to build dynamic, responsive investment portfolios.

Our vision is to systematically exploit deep statistical relationships as they emerge and before they are discovered by other investors. If there’s a butterfly effect, we’re connecting the butterfly with the hurricane, and looking to take advantage of the situations that develop along the way.

To stay ahead of the pack our team of scientists continuously research promising developments in machine learning and combine them with the latest empirical findings and techniques in portfolio and risk management.
