The Voleon Group

The Voleon Group is a quantitative hedge fund that applies machine learning and artificial intelligence to financial markets for investment prediction. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Berkeley, California, near UC Berkeley, the firm develops statistical prediction models and algorithmic investment strategies as an alternative to investing driven by human intuition. Its strategies direct billions of dollars in trades daily, and the firm is a multibillion-dollar asset manager.

The work spans machine learning, statistical modeling, algorithmic trading, quantitative finance and risk management. Research colleagues have collectively published hundreds of academic articles in top-tier venues, and many of the firm's leaders hold doctorates in statistics, computer science and mathematics from institutions such as Stanford and UC Berkeley. Internationally recognised machine learning experts work alongside experienced finance professionals.

The firm describes its culture as collaborative and intellectually curious, combining an academic research approach with practical risk management and scalability concerns. Offices are modern, with collaborative workspaces and catered lunches.
