Pulse

Quantitative research for systematic managers

PULSE is an independent research architecture for CTAs, family offices and specialist funds, delivering structured model updates gated by walk-forward validation.

Rationale

The relationship between market exposure, returns and risk varies with momentum and distributional asymmetry. PULSE studies these relationships to develop systematic exposure rules, each evaluated through walk-forward settings.

Research Scope

PULSE evaluates each market as a distinct process, with its own momentum and distributional behaviour. Each series undergoes separate modelling and walk-forward assessment, with coverage determined by explicit statistical deployment criteria.

Stock Market Analysis

Modelling

Each PULSE model passes through four stages before deployment:

​

  1. Market data forms consistent series for quantitative analysis
     

  2. Candidate configurations are evaluated across defined parameters
     

  3. Training windows precede out-of-sample evaluation periods
     

  4. Deployment requires selected configurations to meet prescribed statistical thresholds

Output

PULSE provides market observations, model-defined exposure states and supporting quantitative evidence for each deployed market.

 

The latest factsheets below document the walk-forward results of every evaluated market, whilst in-depth statistical reports are available on request.

  • The framework separates data preparation, factor construction, optimisation, validation and distribution so that each stage can be documented and evaluated

​​

  • Computational research using the University of York’s VIKING facility enables extensive parameter evaluation and repeated walk-forward assessment
