Finansys' journey began in 2019, born from a passion for the financial markets and a vision to revolutionize trading systems. Our initial focus on developing intra-day algorithms for derivatives evolved as we encountered the realities of capital requirements and margin constraints.

This challenge led us to discover the potential of momentum investing – a strategy that perfectly aligned with our professional commitments and investment philosophy. Over time, our model has undergone significant refinement, transitioning from its early stages to incorporate sophisticated risk management features.

Today, at Finansys, we're proud of our evolved system, which balances market immersion with dynamic risk management, ensuring we stay at the forefront of investment innovation. Our story is one of continuous growth and adaptation, always striving to offer our clients the most effective and efficient wealth-building strategies
