Return distribution

Markets
are not normal.

Returns have heavier tails than the normal curve allows, volatility comes in clusters, regimes shift. These are structural properties of markets: measured and understood, they become opportunities.

What quantitative analysis
costs today.

CHF20k+

Institutional terminal

Per seat, per year, on a two-year contract. Top-tier data, but the quantitative models still have to be built.

CHF8–65k

Research and newsletters

Per year, for access to a bank's research. Static reports, identical for every client: they cannot be queried or adapted to a portfolio.

CHF100k+

In-house quant

Per year for a single analyst, before data and infrastructure. Custom models, but months of development and ongoing maintenance.

Sources: Bloomberg Terminal 2026 pricing, $24–32k (≈ CHF 20–26k) per user per year · bank research pricing under MiFID II (Bloomberg, 2017) · median base salary of a quant analyst in Switzerland, CHF 107k (PayScale, 2026) · USD and EUR figures converted at September 2026 rates (1 USD ≈ 0.82 CHF, 1 EUR ≈ 0.94 CHF).

Analytical depth is concentrated at the top. The tools that support a quantitative investment process remain reserved for firms that can pay per-seat licence fees. Independent advisors, family offices and emerging managers are excluded.

Fragmentation

Anyone can buy data.
Few can read it.

Prices, option chains, financial statements and macro series are now within anyone's reach. The hard part is choosing the right data, running the right analyses, and having all of them in one place.

The missing toolbox

Many models.
No toolbox.

Anyone can build a GARCH, a Kalman filter or a regime model. What is missing is one toolbox that brings them all together: ready to use, continuously updated and validated.

The market

More quantitative.
Faster.

91%

of asset managers already use (54%) or plan to use (37%) artificial intelligence in their investment strategy or research. Not just quant funds.

Mercer, AI integration in investment management, 2024

59%

of S&P 500 index options volume in 2025 was zero-day (0DTE), up from 5% in 2016. Same-day options now dominate index options trading: reading their flows takes advanced analytics.

Cboe Global Markets, 0DTE share of annual SPX options volume · 2016–2022: Cboe Insights, Aug. 2023 · 2023–2025: Cboe annual results and releases

More models, faster decisions, no in-house quant team: managers need tools that are validated and ready to use.

Why now

01

Institutional tools, affordable

Professional data on prices, options, fundamentals and macro now costs a fraction of what it did. For the first time, an independent manager can work with the same analytical tools as an institution, without an institutional budget.

02

Compute is no longer a constraint

Models that once required dedicated infrastructure run on pay-as-you-go cloud infrastructure, precomputed outside the request path and served from cache.

03

Demand has shifted

Fee pressure and reporting obligations are pushing independent advisors and managers toward an analytical process of their own that they can document.

02

The platform

The problem

Fragmented data.
No consistent view.

Prices, options, fundamentals, macro, sentiment and technical data sit in separate systems, with different formats and update cycles. Without a common layer, results cannot be compared across models or assets.

The solution

One tool.
Every approach.

AION brings every quantitative approach into a single tool, ready to use, on the same data.

One suite

The quantitative universe,
in its entirety.

From a single stock to the whole market: models, data and results in one environment, consistent with each other.

Simulated data for illustration purposes

Validated models, open parameters

Every parameter
is adjustable.

In the suite, no parameter is hidden. Here, a GARCH(1,1): change the reaction to shocks and their persistence, and see how the model responds.

σ²t = ω + α ε²t−1 + β σ²t−1
returns εₜ± 2 σₜ conditionalbeyond 3 σ long-run

The method

01 · Research

Academic and market models

From the literature to practice, from classical to advanced: GARCH, Kalman filters, regime models, option pricing.

02 · Validation

All validated

Every new method goes through the experimental area and enters the suite only after passing a documented review.

03 · Suite

Open parameters

Managers adapt each model to their own process and compare the results. The library grows without changing tools.

Artificial intelligence

Aion Brain.
From the question
to the analysis.

An advanced language model built into AION. It works on the suite's own data and models.

  1. 01Chooses the right models and charts
  2. 02Builds the manager's personal dashboard
  3. 03Guides the investment process

Simulated data for illustration purposes

Artificial intelligence · Reinforcement learning

A model that grows
with the manager.

The manager logs their own trades, paper trades included. The model gradually learns their style (horizon, risk, entries and exits) and proposes trade ideas consistent with it.

  1. 01The manager logs trades
  2. 02The model learns the style
  3. 03It proposes ideas, the manager decides

Artificial intelligence

AI informs.
The manager decides.

The platform produces analysis, not personalized recommendations.

Product status

50+

Analysis modules already live in the beta. The investment does not fund development: the platform is already built.

6independent containerized services: heavy computation never enters the interface path
5normalized data providers behind a single layer: no critical vendor dependency
msprecomputation and caching: recurring workloads run outside the request path
100%of the API covered by automated tests, with a documented audit cycle on every release

What AION offers

One platform.
Every quantitative service.

Every module runs on the same normalized data layer, so results are comparable across models, assets and time.

Integration

  • API

    Programmatic access to the calculation engines, for teams that already have a process of their own.

  • MCP server

    Connect AION to language models and other tools, so the analysis can be used where the manager already works.

Who we serve

For professionals
who must justify every decision,
without a research desk.

01

Advisors and family offices

They manage assets on behalf of clients. They pay for analytical depth and a traceable process.

02

Emerging managers and research firms

They produce analysis for their own clients. They pay for the analytical layer they do not want to build.

03

Quant teams and integrators

They already have their own process. They need calculation engines and normalized data, consumed via API.

Versus the alternatives

The gap in the market.

Depth of analysis against annual cost, on a logarithmic scale. Above roughly CHF 10k a year, depth requires an institutional seat or a dedicated team; below it, the offer is limited to charts and static reports.
