We believe that the upcoming revolutions in asset management and index providing will surpass all past disruptions, transforming the industry on every level.
MCFT’s founders, Romain Charlassier and Lucas Mouilleron, have each spent over a decade as practitioners in the asset management industry. Together, they bring a unique combination of market insight, scientific rigor, and technological expertise.
Romain holds a PhD in physics and began his career in academic research, with a focus in data science and artificial intelligence. Lucas has a background in computer science, with expertise in software development and large-scale databases.
Throughout their careers, they’ve developed deep expertise in systematic portfolio management, particularly within equity strategies. They’ve also led the development of software solutions across the asset management stack — from signal engines to PMS/OMS systems. In parallel, they’ve been actively involved in designing a wide range of absolute return and smart beta strategies, and have served as portfolio managers of alternative long/short funds.
