About

We approach markets as systems of competing objectives; each participant with their own constraints, horizons, and incentives.

Founded in 2019, we are a proprietary trading firm operating across equities and derivatives. Our work is to find where those forces create persistent, exploitable structure. We deploy our own capital with a focus on risk-adjusted returns and operational rigor.

01
Research

Systematic, data-driven inquiry across market structure and price dynamics.

02
Execution

Low-latency, efficient execution across equities and listed derivatives.

03
Risk

Disciplined portfolio construction and real-time risk monitoring.

Approach

LIA is a small, deliberate group. We are researchers first — drawn to hard problems, skeptical of consensus, and precise in our methods.

Alpha here is earned through intellectual honesty, not convention. Every position is grounded in a quantifiable thesis with defined entry, exit, and risk parameters — the product of genuine inquiry, not intuition dressed up as process.

Careers

We are looking for people who are ambitious without being careerist, and curious without needing to be told what to explore.

We move fast, give real responsibility from day one, and reward people who take ownership. Our structure is flat, our meritocracy is real, and the problems are genuinely interesting.
