Your Edge in Systematic Market Research

PULSE is Bridgholds' systematic signal delivery service, providing real-time trading signals produced by a proprietary quantitative framework and delivered directly to subscribers via WhatsApp and Telegram. It is offered in three tiers. Starter is designed for individual traders and retail HNW clients. Professional is designed for small funds and family offices requiring additional strategy documentation and a quarterly review call. Institutional is designed for hedge funds and asset managers requiring white-label signal rights, IP licensing, dedicated support, and bespoke SLA arrangements. All signals are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, a personal recommendation, or an inducement to trade.

PULSE signals are generated by a proprietary tri-dimensional risk-conditioning framework developed through active PhD research at the University of York and optimised on VIKING, the University's high-performance computing facility. In 2026, Bridgholds received a Proof of Concept award from the University of York's enterprise programme, recognising the framework's application to institutional and agricultural sector clients. The methodology is confidential and not publicly disclosed. All signals are backtested and subscribers receive the rationale supporting each signal as part of the service. Bridgholds does not share technical specifications, model parameters, or backtest details outside of formal engagement or licensing agreements. Deeper technical access is available only via institutional or licensing arrangements negotiated directly with Bridgholds.

PULSE signals are delivered in real time via mobile messaging platforms, specifically WhatsApp and Telegram. Subscribers must maintain an active account on the designated platform, ensure notifications are enabled, and notify Bridgholds promptly of any changes to their contact details. Signal delivery is subject to the availability of third-party messaging platforms. Bridgholds does not guarantee uninterrupted delivery and accepts no liability for delayed or failed delivery resulting from network, device, or platform factors outside its control.

PULSE Institutional is designed for hedge funds and asset managers requiring white-label signal rights, IP licensing, dedicated support, and bespoke SLA arrangements. Pricing is on application and subject to individual negotiation. A minimum indicative price of £5,000 per month applies. No service is activated upon registration — engagement commences solely upon execution of a formal written agreement. To initiate discussions, visit the Contact page or email info@bridgholds.com.

SHIELD is Bridgholds' commodity price risk management service for agribusiness and commodity-exposed corporates. Commodity price volatility erodes the margin between what it costs to produce and what you sell for. SHIELD delivers systematic hedge signals and structured risk frameworks to protect that margin — whether your exposure sits on the buying side, the selling side, or both. SHIELD is offered in two tiers. Core is designed for SME agribusiness and small producers. Advanced is designed for mid-size corporates requiring full derivatives strategy, board-ready reporting, live portfolio monitoring, and bi-weekly strategy calls. Both tiers cover a broad range of commodity markets, with bespoke arrangements available for exposures outside standard coverage. Both tiers are available via the Plans and Pricing page. To discuss your specific exposure, contact us at info@bridgholds.com or via the Contact page.

SHIELD is built to address commodity price risk across agricultural and broader commodity markets. While our core coverage includes coffee, cotton, soybeans, corn, and wheat, the framework is not constrained to these markets. If your exposure sits elsewhere — whether in energy, metals, soft commodities, or other asset classes — contact us at info@bridgholds.com to discuss how SHIELD can be structured to meet your specific requirements.

SHIELD Core is designed for SME agribusiness and small producers. It delivers systematic commodity hedge signal access, backtested hedging rationale per signal, a monthly commodity risk report, and price floor and margin protection analysis. SHIELD Advanced is designed for mid-size commodity-exposed corporates and adds a structured hedging programme, full derivatives strategy design, live portfolio monitoring, board-ready reporting, and bi-weekly strategy calls. Both are available via the Plans and Pricing page.

VERDICT is Bridgholds' quantitative framework validation and advisory service for funds, agribusiness, and fintech. It covers independent review and validation of trading strategies, risk models, and quantitative frameworks, as well as bespoke strategy design and derivatives advisory. Engagements are performed by PhD-level practitioners with Russell Group affiliations. VERDICT is offered as a monthly retainer covering up to 3 engagement days per month, or as a standalone day rate for one-off projects, audits, and expert witness assignments. Both options are available via the Plans and Pricing page. All VERDICT outputs are research and advisory deliverables only and do not constitute investment advice or regulated activity under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

A VERDICT Day Rate engagement covers one full engagement day of up to 8 hours of active work. Scope is agreed in writing prior to commencement. Deliverables include a written summary of findings provided within 3 business days of the engagement date, and a follow-up Q&A window within 48 hours of delivery. Work exceeding one day requires a separate engagement. The day rate is available via the Plans and Pricing page.

The VERDICT Retainer provides up to 3 engagement days per month covering strategy design and review, derivatives framework development, and risk framework advisory. Unused days do not roll over to subsequent months. Day allocation is agreed in advance with the Bridgholds team. The retainer is available on a monthly basis via the Plans and Pricing page.

Consultations are requested via the Contact page enquiry form — include a brief description of your requirements — or by emailing info@bridgholds.com. Bridgholds works exclusively with sophisticated and professional counterparties. A member of the Bridgholds team will respond within 2 business days to discuss scope, objectives, and next steps.
