High Delta exists because the tools and research systematic traders actually need — rigorous, portfolio-level, evidence-based — largely don't exist. So we built them, on top of our own live trading.
Building a serious multi-strategy systematic trading portfolio is hard — not because strategy research is hard, but because everything around it is fragmented. You validate strategies individually, but live trading is a portfolio problem. Correlation shifts. Capacity constraints compound. Drawdowns that look manageable in isolation interact in ways no single-strategy backtest can reveal.
The co-founders of High Delta have both been running live, independently verified multi-strategy portfolios — collectively managing ~€4.1M in investor capital across systematic strategies spanning FX, metals, bonds, and equity indices. Every tool we build started as a spreadsheet, a script, or a missing feature that was genuinely needed to manage those portfolios. High Delta is the commercial version of that infrastructure.
The track records
Both founders' performance below is from live, independently verified accounts via regulated brokers' live data feeds. These aren't backtests. They aren't hypotheticals. They're the foundation our entire product thesis rests on.

Stats updated monthly from Darwinex (last sync: 09 Apr 2026). Combined AUM includes Kieran's institutional book managed off-Darwinex. Past performance is not indicative of future results. See our Disclaimer for full disclosures.
Both portfolios have run through live market conditions including the April 2025 tariff shock, multiple volatile FX regimes, and sustained equity drawdowns. The performance reflects real execution, real slippage, and real correlation effects across live books — not curated, not retrospective.
Every product decision, like every trading decision, has to survive scrutiny. If it can't be tested, it should be questioned.
We build for people who run live systematic portfolios. Not for people who want to start one day. That specificity makes everything sharper.
We're not building headcount for headcount's sake. Every product decision and every hire has to earn its place.
We publish our track record openly. We talk about what goes wrong as well as what goes right. Trust is built incrementally.
