Founded in Zug, Switzerland, in 2017, Creed & Bear AG is an AI-driven asset management firm specialising in developing trading systems for foreign exchange currencies, Cryptocurrencies, futures, and commodities. We intend to deliver value by applying machine learning and AI to our quantitative trading systems.
We are long-term believers in the Crypto markets, mainly as a chief alternative to traditional assets. We believe algorithmic trading systems are key to revolutionising the Crypto and asset management space.
How machine learning can help in algorithmic trading?
The market for algorithmic trading is expected to grow at a 10.5% CAGR in the next five years, with institutional investors such as pension funds, mutual fund families, insurance firms, and exchange-traded funds making up the majority of the market share.
Institutional investors primarily utilise algorithms to reduce trading costs, particularly for high-volume orders. But, more importantly, trading algorithms help prevent overtrading, which results from professional traders attempting to recoup previously unprofitable trades or intentionally ramping up order volumes to generate more commissions.
However, overtrading only piles up risk and leads to even more unprofitable outcomes. Trading systems built on machine learning models effectively remove this human aspect, allowing them to execute trading decisions based on collected data. Such trading systems are adaptive to changes, continuously fine-tuning themselves with the flow of new information.
Creed & Bear AG is expanding its services to qualified institutional clients with a fund that actively trades Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. We plan to employ machine learning tools to build trading systems that can identify data patterns, analyse trends and execute trades automatically for that fund. With our team of 48 developers and researchers, we can ensure that our data-driven approach maintains robust investment strategies.
How can traditional finance help an individual invest in a new-age asset class like Crypto?
Indeed, Cryptocurrency investing is largely unfamiliar territory for most investors. A U.S. survey last year reveals only 16% of respondents have personally invested in digital assets. Nonetheless, it’s a big improvement from a 2015 survey where only 1% of the respondents claimed to have dabbled with Bitcoin.
Those numbers only show so much growth potential, especially since institutional investors continue to migrate to digital assets following the market’s expansion in 2020. But for digital assets to actually be embedded in mainstream finance, investors should be able to rely on a sound infrastructure much akin to what traditional financial services have.
Creed & Bear AG continually pushes the envelopes of Cryptocurrency adoption in mainstream finance. For starters, the technology we’ve develop for asset management is designed by individuals honed by their vast experiences in traditional and digital asset markets. Such experiences allow us to draw a conventional approach to managing new-age assets.
