About Moment

Moment builds next-generation trading and portfolio management technology. Our core product suite includes high-throughput market data pipelines, automated smart order routing algorithms, real-time portfolio ledgering and position tracking, and high-cardinality portfolio optimization.

Founded in 2023 by a team of quant traders and researchers from Citadel and Jane Street, we've raised over $100M in capital from Andreessen Horowitz and Index Ventures, and we now power mission critical workflows for financial institutions with over $8T+ of assets.

The Research Team at Moment works on problems like:

• Running 100K+ variable portfolio optimizations in seconds.

• Developing machine learning models to estimate relative value and future outperformance in fixed income securities.

• Developing risk models to estimate the tracking error between portfolios.

• Building AI agents to automatically perform credit research, automatically build custom portfolios, and automate other core portfolio management tasks.
