Capital Fund Management
Past and future
Their story
Capital Fund Management was born through the merger of Capital Futures Management and Science & Finance in 2000. Following the merger, CFM focused on developing its activities into the leading French alternative investment firm. The company grew rapidly, both in terms of assets and talents.
Despite the various crises, financial or otherwise, CFM developed significantly in the second half of the 2000s. Capital Fund Management has continued to grow from a handful of employees in its early days to 250 employees today. CFM specialises in quantitative and systematic trading in global markets with offices in Paris, New York, and London. The company offers complex strategies based on a highly scientific approach to trading, using statistical analysis of terabytes of financial data and modelling at the cutting edge of academic research.

Their vision
To put client at the forefront of modern investment management !
Big-data and technology are set to have as profound an impact on the world as the industrial revolution. In fields as varied as medicine, science and finance, we are already seeing massive advances. CFM has been a pioneer of econophysics and has pushed innovation through applying research and academic techniques to finance and economics, seeking to create consistent returns not correlated to wider market performance and applying appropriate risk parameters.
