    Investing in financial markets is a bit like planning a picnic based on a weather forecast—you hope for sunshine, but you pack an umbrella just in case.

You might have seen us mention "AI" in relation to our Darwin tool, and we want to be completely transparent about what that means. We believe in clarity, not hype. So, let's break down exactly what’s going on under the hood. As you can see, the world of "AI" is broader than you might think. We've found this chart super helpful in defining where are system falls. After careful review, we know that  our system falls into Tier 1: Algorithmic & Probabilistic Models with some components of Tier 2 . We use sophisticated mathematical and probabilistic models to help you manage your portfolio to risk. Our tools leverage techniques such as differential evolution for optimization or Hidden Markov Models for regime detection, to help you make data-driven decisions. It's really important for you to know  our system is designed to model uncertainty but does not yet ...
