Aspect Capital

Aspect Capital was co-founded by Anthony Todd and Martin Lueck in September 1997. It is headquartered in London, with additional offices in Stamford, Connecticut, and Shanghai, China, and serves institutional investors, fund-of-funds and distribution partners.

The firm develops systematic investment solutions across three main categories: trend following, absolute return and customised solutions. Its process runs from quantitative signal generation through portfolio construction, risk management and automated order execution across global liquid markets.

Aspect is especially associated with medium-term trend following and managed futures. Its research-led approach uses multiple models and diversified portfolios to seek returns that can diversify traditional asset classes; the firm’s careers materials also highlight substantial roles in quantitative research, software development, trading technology, operations and client-facing functions.
