buyers and sellers. The firm’s work is based on the principles of quantitative analysis, powerful computational capabilities, and efficient risk management. Unlike other investment firms which often build up positions in line with general expectations concerning future movements in the markets, Westren Capital concentrates on short-term opportunities related to the structure of markets and order flows. The firm uses only its own funds in its trading activities without providing any asset management services to third-party investors. Profitability for Westren Capital comes from constant trade and spread arbitrage rather than fees or speculation with the underlying assets. In this respect, the firm represents a unique combination of innovation and discipline when technological advancements in financial markets are paired with rational trading and hedging operations.
