 A message from COMPOSER How did this hedge fund return 66% per year? If you invested $10,000 in Renaissance Technologies’ Medallion in 1988, you’d cash out in 2018 with a cool $200,000,000. Their secret sauce? "Quantitative Investing." Instead of hiring slick-talking Wall Street suits, Medallion is run by an army of computer scientists, mathematicians, and neural engineers that specialize in quantitative investing that eliminates human biases (fear, greed, FOMO). Unless you are a PHD-wielding, Python-coding, Excel-Wizard…that type of quant-trading has been out of reach. Until now… Composer gives you the financial firepower to easily drag, drop, edit and swap quant-investing strategies from scratch - no engineering degree required. They even have a library of expertly vetted strategies to choose from like: Buy the Dips Nasdaq, The Buffett and The Dalio. Stop trading on impulse. Start Investing Today
