About us

HORIZON
Proudly helping investors and projects navigate the financial market since 2024.

Pioneering Algorithmic Investment

At HORIZON, we are at the forefront of quantitative investment innovation in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. As an open-ended investment company registered in the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), we leverage sophisticated algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to identify market inefficiencies and generate sustainable returns for our investors.

Founded in 2024, HORIZON OEIC LTD has established itself as a leader in algorithmic trading strategies within the AIFC ecosystem. Our company brings together a unique team of quantitative analysts, data scientists, financial engineers, and investment professionals who combine deep technical expertise with comprehensive financial market knowledge.

We operate within the progressive regulatory framework of the AIFC, which provides our clients with the security of international standards while enabling us to deploy innovative investment technologies.

Technological Edge

Our competitive advantage lies in our proprietary trading algorithms and computational infrastructure:

Advanced Quantitative Models

We develop and deploy sophisticated mathematical models that analyze vast datasets to identify trading opportunities across multiple asset classes and timeframes.

Machine Learning Capabilities

Our systems continuously learn from market data, adapting to changing conditions and improving their performance over time.

High-Performance Computing

We utilise state-of-the-art computational resources to process market data in real-time and execute trades optimally.

Robust Risk Management

Our algorithms incorporate multiple layers of risk controls, ensuring disciplined portfolio management even during market turbulence.

Trading Strategies

The proportion of each strategy in our portfolio is determined through a comparative assessment of returns, the degree of risk correlation between different strategies, and the relative capacity of each strategy. The projected target annual return on the current portfolio of strategies is 12-20%.

Option Strategies

These strategies are based on option spreads with a single expiration date and calendar spreads. We arbitrage between local volatility imbalances, avoiding a one-sided position with regard to volatility. This allows us to significantly reduce market risks while retaining high return.

Commodity Spreads

We apply various arbitrage trading strategies using all kinds of spreads. Combinations of statistical and fundamental interrelations between the arbitrage components, as well as the diversification of instruments, provide an excellent risk/return relationship for this class of strategies.

Trend-following Strategies

The mathematical models we have created allow us to accurately identify the formation and completion of mid-term directional movements in the market and use them to obtain profit.

Statistical Arbitrage

In HORIZON, statistical arbitrage is represented by many strategies based on a stable relationship between various assets, such as pair trading, basket trading, arbitrage of an index instrument against an asset basket, and other dependencies between non-identical instruments that can be used for generating profit.
