OAK FIELDMARKET

Our performance · 04 / 04

From ideas to impact.

Every strategy begins as a mathematical question rather than a market opinion, and reaches investors only after it has been coded, tested and run in paper mode on the same platform.

Figures as at 21 September 2026

How the platform works

  1. 01

    Signal generation

    Live market data in, a directional signal out — computed in code, on a fixed schedule.

  2. 02

    Macro gates

    A signal trades only when it agrees with the prevailing market regime.

  3. 03

    Execution and exit

    Entries, targets, stops and square-off are placed programmatically on pre-set rules.

  4. 04

    Logging and roll-out

    Every signal is logged before an order is sent; new strategies run in paper mode first.

Research foundations

Statistical learning

Regularised regression and sequence models map engineered features onto the distribution of next-period returns. Regularisation penalises complexity, so a fit survives outside the window it was trained on.

Mean reversion and relative value

Long-run statistical relationships between instruments, where deviations are measurable in standard deviations rather than opinions and carry little directional exposure.

Derivatives and volatility

Option strategies built on premium decay and the shape of the volatility surface, sized so the payoff profile is the source of return.

Market microstructure

Order-book depth and open-interest movement, treated as probabilistic signals weighted against the prevailing regime.

What we do not publish

Model parameters, entry thresholds, instrument universes and execution timings stay inside the firm; they are the research itself. What we publish is the outcome: every strategy's backtest and live record on the same axes, including the months that went against us.

How we intend to get there

Broaden the base. Around 180 further investors over the year, at ticket sizes consistent with the existing book rather than through a single large mandate.

Move the remaining strategies live. Twin Oak, Willow, Cedar and Birch complete paper trading and join the live record.

Hold the discipline. Live results continue to track research, and every month, good or bad, continues to be published.

Targets set by the partners for the twelve months to September 2027. Targets are objectives, not forecasts or guarantees.
