Thesis-Driven Indexing
Your thesis, written into
a launch-ready methodology.
You bring a sentence and the axes you care about. We turn it into a sector gate, a multi-criterion rubric run against every audited filing, and a quarterly index that 3,000+ companies are screened through.
Your thesis and your concerns.
- ·A sentence describing your conviction
- ·The axes you care about (risk, theme, exposure)
- ·Constraints (sector caps, holdings count, region)
A documented methodology that runs.
- ·Sector gate from revenue-anchored classification
- ·Each axis becomes a scored criterion against 10-K filings
- ·Value & quality screen · selection rules · weights
A live, audited, IOSCO-ready index.
- ·A 12-page methodology document
- ·Quarterly rebalances across 3,000+ companies

Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence.
“Companies anchored to physical assets, generational infrastructure, and iconic brands stay structurally insulated from AI-era disruption.”
— Client thesis (one sentence)
We took a discretionary stockpicker's gut check and turned it into a 12-page IOSCO methodology. Run quarterly across 3,000 companies.
The methodology is the start, not the finish.
$0 → $1B in 12 months comes from partnership at every step: methodology design, daily ops, the regulator's follow-up call long after launch.
Methodology design
Thesis → sector mapping → multi-criterion rubric → screens.
Index operations
Rebalancing, corporate actions, proforma. Run in a live workspace.
Product & sales research
Idea generation, white-space mapping, sales-deck data on tap.
Sales materials
Factsheets, client packs, performance attribution. Generated from live data.
Regulatory docs
IOSCO specs, calculation manuals, governance records.
Ongoing intelligence
Constituent news, sentiment, telemetry. You see it before the market.
Every constituent event,
surfaced in real time.
We watch every Akros index and every name inside. You see it before the market does.
This is why partners come back. The methodology is a starting line. The AUM milestones come from the operations, research, sales materials, and regulatory muscle that compound with every cycle.
Worked Methodologies
Real client theses, encoded.
Each one started as a sentence from a portfolio manager. We turned it into an IOSCO-compliant rule set running across thousands of names. AI-resistant real-asset portfolios. Weekly covered-call income blends. Same engine.
