A Message from the Founder
Welcome to Heracles. I'm Alessandro Pafumi, Founder and Chief Architect. Our mission is simple yet bold: to harness cutting-edge quantitative methodologies, disciplined risk management, and innovative strategies in order to deliver sustainable, asymmetric returns for our partners.
Our Philosophy
Markets are complex, dynamic, and often nonlinear. Success lies not in predicting every twist and turn, but in building systems that adapt — resilient, robust, and uncompromising under stress. At Heracles, we blend rigorous research, advanced computing, and deep domain expertise to engineer strategies that aim to thrive in all market regimes.
Technology & Infrastructure
At the core of Heracles is a high-frequency, technologically advanced engine. We operate our own state-of-the-art data centers, rigorously optimizing latency and throughput. Our infrastructure supports intense computational loads — from massive backtesting to real-time execution. We develop complex, fully automated algorithms on our own servers; every component of our system — from signal generation and filtering to trade execution — is tightly integrated, continuously monitored, and constantly improved.
Why Heracles?
The name "Heracles" evokes strength, resolve, and mythical legacy. We believe in forging a legacy not through hubris, but through precision, humility before uncertainty, and steadfast execution. Our goal is not to chase fleeting trends, but to build structural advantage — an edge that stands the test of time.
What You Can Expect
Transparency & Integrity — We maintain clear, honest communication with our investors and stakeholders.
Rigorous Risk Controls — Protection of capital is not secondary; it is integral.
Relentless Innovation — We continuously research, test, and evolve.
Alignment with Clients — Your success is our success. We invest in what we build, and design incentives to ensure we grow together.
My Commitment
As founder, I commit every resource at my disposal — intellectual, technological, and ethical — to steer Heracles toward excellence. My vision is that decades from now, Heracles will stand as a firm built on trust, performance, and principled leadership.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Your faith in us inspires our highest standards, and we don't take that responsibility lightly.
Sincerely,
Alessandro Pafumi
Founder, Heracles Fund
