MerQube

MerQube launched in 2019 in New York and San Francisco, founded by index-industry veterans and technology specialists. It has developed as a technology-focused alternative to legacy index-creation infrastructure rather than as a traditional asset manager or investment bank.

The firm provides cloud-native tools for designing, modeling, backtesting, and calculating complex indices and systematic strategies. Its platform covers equities, futures, options, and multi-asset approaches, with applications including thematic, ESG, quantitative investment strategy, delta-one, volatility, and defined-outcome indices.

MerQube is especially strong in bespoke index engineering: its building-block architecture, automated workflows, and data-processing infrastructure are designed to bring customized strategies to market faster than monolithic legacy systems. The company also emphasizes auditability and traceability through its GiT-based approach to recording index data and calculation processes.
