Strategies

AI-powered strategies built to adapt, protect, and outperform.

Lumenai’s strategies are built around systematic, adaptive models that identify regime shifts and dynamically adjust exposures. Rather than forecasting markets, our approach systematically tilts toward assets and factors with the highest expected risk-adjusted returns given current conditions.


Each strategy is built using our proprietary models and is managed with daily oversight, systematic rebalancing and disciplined risk management.

These strategies can be implemented as:

  • Separately managed accounts (SMAs)
  • Fund of one (Fo1)
  • Commingled account (fund)

Process Section Background

Investment

Process

Lumenai’s investment process follows a repeatable five-step framework that enables Lumenai portfolios to self-learn and self-adapt— without human bias or delay.

Using supervised and unsupervised algorithms and other quantitative methods we:

Process Timeline
01

Define a high-quality investment universe based in part on client goals

02

Rank securities based on how they’re expected to perform in the current market regime

03

Group securities with similar behaviors and reject outliers

04

Build a portfolio from the 
top-ranked securities and apply trading thresholds

05

Implement the portfolio via Lumenai’s OMS/PMS and monitor it daily

Why AI

& Quant

Lumenai’s AI-driven investment system analyzes vast amounts of 
data that humans cannot, detecting market shifts and adjusting 
portfolios accordingly.

We don’t bet on forecasts. We identify the regime the market is in, then allocate our investments toward the securities most likely to outperform based on similar past conditions.

This adaptive approach helps maintain optimal exposures through regime shifts to help reduce drawdowns and capture alpha. Lumenai gives investors a modern, machine-driven edge — one designed to evolve with markets, not guess where they’re going.

Lumenai
Performance

Lumenai strategies are built to deliver alpha through adaptability — not market predictions.

Our portfolios aim to outperform benchmarks over time by recognizing shifts in market behavior and reallocating accordingly. Performance should be judged on adaptability and consistency, as well as by alpha, Sharpe, and returns.
