It’s no secret—high net worth individuals and institutions seek investment opportunities that deliver innovation, stability and consistent returns. In today’s complex financial landscape, people want diversified strategies that are not necessarily correlated to traditional stock market returns. We caught up with Dieter Marlovics, chief executive officer of RoboSig, a Chicago-based financial technology company, to learn more about such strategies as well as innovations in trading.
What is RoboSig in a nutshell?
RoboSig is a software company that has built an artificial intelligence (AI)-supported machine, which autonomously trades global G7 currencies without human emotion or hesitation. The thesis behind RoboSig intellectual property is that the global monetary system acts as a giant rubber band ball. When pieces are stretched, they are always, at least partially, pulled back. RoboSig seeks to mine this stability, which allows the world economic engine to function.
How does the technology work?
Depending on market conditions, the RoboSig machine uses a combination of mean reversion and trend-following approaches. It also includes automated risk management along with 24/7 monitoring and surveillance by both RoboSig and the company’s asset management partners’ risk teams.
Why are you particularly excited about this technology and what it can do for investors and the financial landscape?
Since 2016, the RoboSig team’s innovative R&D has built and fine-tuned intellectual property that delivers consistent results, unaffected by emotions, fatigue, or distractions that often hinder human traders. Unlike high-frequency trading, our capital-efficient, liquid strategy holds positions for about a week, offering multi-billion-dollar capacity for investors. Continuing to partner with fiduciaries to tap this potential while advancing our research promises a very exciting and dynamic future.
How can we invest in the technology and what’s the potential benefit?
Interested parties can typically invest through an asset manager partnered with RoboSig. For qualified North Shore investors, Arb Asset Management, a Chicago-based firm, offers the Arb RoboSig Alpha Gen Fund. For separately managed accounts (SMAs), investors are able to customize risk levels, meaning they have control over how much risk and leverage is utilized.
Does RoboSig allocate its own capital to the RoboSig FX Strategy?
Yes! RoboSig has invested over $2 million of its own operating capital onto the RoboSig FX Strategy. Additionally, management team members personally helped seed the Arb RoboSig Alpha Gen Fund when it launched in 2023.
