Lynx

Lynx Asset Management was founded in Stockholm in 1999. Our goal is to provide clients with high risk-adjusted returns using systematic investment strategies, developed through scientific methods utilizing data, analysis and technology.

At Lynx, we have created a workplace where scientific methods and a relentless focus on results are nourished by a friendly, collegial culture. We employ around 90 dedicated professionals with varying backgrounds such as finance, physics, mathematics, bioinformatics and system development. With a broad set of systems and trading concepts, we attempt to meet the goals of our investors by offering a combination of established investment programs and customized solutions. 

There is branch of financial theory that presumes that market participants are rational, and prices fully reflect the value of all available information. At Lynx, we are convinced by the scientific body of research that conversely suggests that markets are not perfectly efficient and investment decisions are frequently influenced by various factors such as behavioral biases and divergent economic motivations. This forms the basis of Lynx’s objective and approach to investing: to persistently capture the opportunities that arise from market inefficiencies.

A systematic approach to investing is sometimes mistaken as opposite to a fundamental or discretionary style of active investing. However, both methods share a common aim: to generate positive risk-adjusted returns by identifying and investing in assets that are mispriced. The key difference is how information is collected, interpreted, and utilized in the investment process. 

Our models are designed to analyze and act on vast amounts of information without the behavioral biases that can cause individual investors to make irrational decisions. The volume of data collected and systematically processed would be impossible for the human brain to manage. A systematic approach to risk management also enables us to identify and control against losses that could otherwise occur without a comprehensive understanding of risk factors.

To achieve success, we rely on our most important asset: the collaborative effort, resourcefulness and talent of our employees. Our continued success is truly determined by our ability to attract and retain exceptional talent. Our industry has a reputation of being hard and raw – but that is not who we are. At Lynx, our unique collegial spirit and common values and objectives create a supportive working environment. ”At Lynx, I've found an innovative and collegial atmosphere that defies the typical perception of the financial industry. People here are genuinely helpful, open-minded, and eager to share their knowledge.”, says Max Nyström Winsa, Portfolio Manager at Lynx. “The willingness to improve and stay at the forefront of innovation, is for me, why Lynx is so successful” adds Elvira Eriksson, trader at Lynx. 

From modest beginnings out of the bustling start-up scene of Stockholm in 1999, Lynx has established itself as a specialist in quantitative investment management. Innovation has been part of our DNA since we started and will continue to be at our core as we progress into the future.

[Investing in futures contracts is associated with risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.  Systematic futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. The value of capital invested in futures contracts may increase or decrease and investors cannot be certain of recovering all of their invested capital. A high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.
