Delphia Leveraging Data and AI for Investment Insights

What is Delphia?

Delphia positions itself at the intersection of data science and finance, believing that data is a crucial asset in an AI-driven world. The company leverages alternative data sources, such as consumer transaction and location data, combined with advanced AI and machine learning models to identify investment opportunities and develop quantitative trading strategies. Initially focused on broader applications including a robo-advisor, Delphia has pivoted to concentrate on serving professional investors through its hedge fund activities, like Oracle Alpha.

Beyond its core investment services, Delphia actively contributes to the ecosystem by open-sourcing components like its backtesting framework (InvestOS) and news classification engine. It has also spun out related ventures such as ForecastOS, a platform designed for building quantitative investment strategies, and aims to launch future products focused on trend investing (Tilt) and expert knowledge monetization (Backchannel). The company emphasizes the potential of low-latency, asymmetric data in achieving market insights.
