Brendan Raymond

Head of Product & Investments at AlisAlpha

Speaker

Brendan Raymond leads product and investment strategy at AlisAlpha, a machine-learning equity platform whose signals have been live since 2019, ranking stocks daily across US and European equities. AlisAlpha uses these signals to help hedge funds and asset managers build custom strategies, from market-neutral books to enhanced-index portfolios. Brendan takes models from research into live portfolios, covering portfolio construction, risk controls and signal governance. He also works on applying generative and agentic AI to investment workflows in partnership with Alis Exchange.

Before AlisAlpha, Brendan spent more than a decade at Rezco Asset Management. As portfolio manager he ran a developed-market equity portfolio that combined ML signals with discretionary judgement. He was also a regular market commentator on BusinessDay TV in South Africa.
