About Two Sigma

Two Sigma Investments is an investment management firm and registered investment adviser founded in 2001 and headquartered in New York, NY. It operates as a global, technology-driven organization and applies a rigorous scientific approach to managing capital across a wide array of diversified global strategies. Its mandate rests on massive datasets and advanced computational methods used to identify value in financial markets, and on principles from data science and technology used to build portfolios that hold up across market cycles. Over more than two decades the firm has kept its attention on the intersection of finance and technology and has become a significant participant in the global investment landscape. The firm's main asset classes are global public markets, where it trades equities, fixed income and currencies using systematic techniques. The strategy is often described as a Quantitative hedge fund (QHF) and relies on machine learning and big data to drive investment decisions. Geographic coverage is broad, spanning North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Its process is a systematic, data-driven framework that looks for patterns in complex market environments, and under the Quantitative hedge fund (QHF) model it processes hundreds of petabytes of information. The result is a diversified portfolio targeting opportunities in various international jurisdictions under a disciplined, research-heavy philosophy. In scale, Two Sigma Investments runs a global platform with offices in major financial hubs across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its institutional clients include pension funds, endowments and sovereign wealth funds seeking exposure to systematic investment strategies. By 2026 the firm will have operated for more than twenty-five years. Its platform rests on significant investment in human capital, technology and data, which supports its ability to handle the complexities of modern global finance, and its international office network and scientific mandate give it comprehensive reach for its worldwide investor base.
