PULSE is Bridgholds' systematic signal delivery service, providing real-time trading signals produced by a proprietary quantitative framework and delivered directly to subscribers via their preferred messaging platform or directly to their trading platform, depending on the selected plan. It is offered across three tiers — Starter, Professional, and Institutional — designed respectively for individual traders and retail HNW clients, small funds and family offices, and hedge funds or asset managers with institutional-grade requirements. 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 national AI supercomputing facility. The methodology is confidential and not publicly disclosed. Subscribers receive the backtested rationale supporting each signal as part of the service. Technical specifications, model parameters, and detailed backtest data are not shared outside of formal engagement or licensing arrangements. Deeper access is available exclusively via Institutional or licensing agreements negotiated directly with Bridgholds.
PULSE signals are delivered in real time via the subscriber's preferred messaging platform or directly to their trading platform, depending on the selected plan. 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 platforms. Bridgholds does not guarantee uninterrupted delivery and accepts no liability for delays or failures resulting from network, device, or platform factors outside its control. API delivery is available on request.
PULSE Institutional is designed for hedge funds and asset managers requiring the full depth of Bridgholds' signal infrastructure. It includes both the Alpha and Wealth signal streams and custom formatting for institutional deployment. It is available directly via the Plans & Pricing page. To discuss whether this tier is the right fit for your mandate, visit the Contact page or email info@bridgholds.com.
SHIELD is Bridgholds' commodity price risk management service for agribusiness and commodity-exposed corporates. It delivers systematic hedge signals and structured risk frameworks to protect margin — whether exposure sits on the buying side, the selling side, or both. It is offered across two tiers with different approaches and add-ons depending on the scale and complexity of your exposure. Both are available via the Plans & Pricing page.
SHIELD's core coverage includes coffee, cotton, soybeans, corn, and wheat. The framework is not constrained to these markets, however. If your exposure sits in energy, metals, other soft commodities, or elsewhere, contact us at info@bridgholds.com to discuss how SHIELD can be structured to meet your specific requirements.
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.
Bridgholds addresses quantitative risk management through two service lines. SHIELD delivers systematic commodity price risk management for agribusiness and commodity-exposed corporates. VERDICT provides independent quantitative framework validation and risk model review for funds, agribusiness, and fintech. All outputs are research and advisory in nature and do not constitute investment advice or regulated activity. Visit the Plans and Pricing page or contact us at info@bridgholds.com to discuss your requirements.
