About

Seeking Edge Investment LLC is an independent quantitative research lab focused on systematic equity and options analysis.

Our Mission

We believe institutional-quality quantitative research should be transparent, reproducible, and held to the highest standards of statistical rigor.

Seeking Edge bridges the gap between academic factor research and practical portfolio construction — with real execution costs, real implied volatility surfaces, and real out-of-sample validation.

Research Principles

Radical Transparency

Our approach, assumptions, and methodology are documented. No black boxes. Model outputs are time-stamped before evaluation.

Out-of-Sample Rigor

No look-ahead bias. No in-sample cherry-picking. Every metric reported is from held-out test periods.

Real Execution Costs

Backtests include evidence-based bid-ask spreads from real options chain data. No frictionless assumptions.

Reproducible Research

Methodology, data sources, and the full pipeline are open and documented.
