Algorithmica's Gold Star AMC Triumphs in BarclayHedge Rankings for 2025
In a remarkable achievement, Algorithmica SA, a quantitative technology company specializing in advanced AI-driven market forecasting systems, has announced that its Gold Star Actively Managed Certificate (AMC) earned a prestigious position among the top 10 in the BarclayHedge Yearly Performance Rankings for 2025. This accolade not only highlights the effectiveness of Algorithmica's innovative technology but also emphasizes its competitive edge in the financial markets.
The Gold Star AMC ranked 6th in the category dedicated to Financials/Metals Traders managing under $10 million. This success comes as a result of the strategy achieving an impressive return of 15.86% for the calendar year of 2025, with fees deducted for management and performance. Furthermore, the strategy reported a remarkable Sharpe Ratio of 2.11, indicating a high level of risk-adjusted return.
Dr. Ioannis Foteinopoulos, co-founder and managing partner at Algorithmica, expressed pride in these accomplishments, stating, "We are immensely proud of the strategy's performance, especially in its first year of published results and entry into the BarclayHedge Index. The results underscore our technology’s ability to generate competitive returns while maintaining disciplined risk management and a strong commitment to decorrelation."
The forecasting technology developed by Algorithmica serves as the foundation for numerous publicly traded and separately managed account strategies. Major financial institutions, including UBS, BNP Paribas, and Prometeia, utilize these systems across various international markets, including the EU and Switzerland.
Charles Lombardo, managing partner for business development, elaborated on the strategy's comparative performance, stating, "According to publicly available data from BarclayHedge, the risk-adjusted performance of our strategy positively stands out against the top-10, boasting a Sharpe Ratio that is approximately 0.70 higher than its closest competitor. The performance of Gold Star in 2025 was achieved through stable and consistent monthly returns, maintaining a beta close to zero and an annualized weekly volatility of 5.92%. In comparison, the S&P 500 displayed volatility at 17.26% in the same period."
Another AMC using Algorithmica's technology, COMETA, issued by BNP Paribas, also reported solid performance in a different category, achieving a net return of 7.51% while maintaining a similar low beta and a worst drawdown of just 1.50%. This further underscores the effectiveness of Algorithmica’s systems in delivering positive results.
