MorMag believes rigorous research is the foundation of effective capital allocation. Our analysis combines macroeconomic insight, company-level fundamentals, and long-term structural thinking to identify opportunities across global markets.
Featured Research
CVaR Portfolio Optimisation
CVaR portfolio optimisation provides a powerful framework for analysing and managing tail risk within complex financial systems. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to portfolio construction grounded in probabilistic reasoning, adaptive systems thinking, and resilience-focused risk management.
Market Regime Clustering
Market regime clustering provides a powerful framework for understanding financial markets as evolving systems organised into recurring structural environments. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader quantitative and behavioural philosophy grounded in probabilistic reasoning, systems thinking, and adaptive intelligence.
Margin of Safety
Margin of safety represents one of the most important principles within investment philosophy and financial decision-making. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader philosophy grounded in probabilistic reasoning, adaptive systems thinking, and structural awareness.
Cross-Sectional Mean Reversion Engines
Cross-sectional mean reversion engines provide a sophisticated framework for identifying relative dislocations within evolving financial systems. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader adaptive quantitative framework grounded in probabilistic reasoning, behavioural analysis, and systems-level interpretation.
The Latticework of Mental Models
The latticework of mental models provides a powerful framework for understanding financial markets as complex adaptive systems shaped by overlapping psychological, structural, probabilistic, and behavioural forces. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader investment philosophy grounded in interdisciplinary thinking, probabilistic reasoning, behavioural analysis, and systems-level interpretation.
Behavioral Economics and the Psychology of Incentives
Behavioral economics and the psychology of incentives provide one of the most important frameworks for understanding financial markets. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to quantitative and behavioural finance grounded in systems thinking, probabilistic reasoning, and structural awareness.
Dispersion Volatility Arbitrage
Dispersion volatility arbitrage provides a sophisticated framework for analysing the relationship between individual asset volatility, index volatility, and correlation dynamics within financial markets. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to quantitative finance grounded in adaptive systems thinking, probabilistic reasoning, and structural market analysis.
Order Flow Toxicity Models
Order flow toxicity models provide a powerful framework for understanding the interaction between information asymmetry, liquidity provision, and market fragility. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to quantitative finance grounded in adaptive systems thinking, market microstructure analysis, and probabilistic interpretation.
Kalman Filter Pairs Trading
Kalman filter pairs trading provides a powerful framework for adaptive statistical arbitrage within evolving financial systems. At MorMag, this perspective informs a broader quantitative framework focused on dynamic inference, regime awareness, and structural adaptability.
Hidden Markov Model Regime Detection
Hidden Markov Model regime detection provides a powerful framework for understanding financial markets as evolving systems operating across hidden states. At MorMag, Hidden Markov Models contribute to a broader adaptive intelligence framework designed to navigate these evolving structures with probabilistic reasoning and structural awareness.
The Psychology of Incentives
The psychology of incentives provides one of the most important frameworks for understanding financial markets. By shaping behaviour, perception, risk-taking, and decision-making, incentives influence nearly every aspect of market dynamics. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to analysing markets as adaptive systems shaped by interaction, reflexivity, and behavioural complexity.
The Lollapalooza Effect
The Lollapalooza Effect provides a powerful framework for understanding extreme market behaviour. Its significance lies in recognising that market outcomes are rarely driven by single causes. At MorMag, this perspective forms part of a broader approach to understanding markets as adaptive, reflexive, and probabilistic systems shaped by feedback and behavioural complexity.
Shannon Entropy
Shannon entropy provides a profound framework for understanding uncertainty, information, and structural complexity within financial markets. At MorMag, this perspective informs a broader approach to quantitative finance grounded in probabilistic reasoning, adaptive systems thinking, and structural awareness.
Inside the MorMag Quant Lab (III)
The MorMag Market Scanner represents an attempt to build a financial intelligence architecture aligned with the true nature of markets. Its design integrates probabilistic reasoning, latent regime inference, behavioural interpretation, liquidity analysis, adaptive learning, and robust portfolio construction into a unified system.
Evolutionary Finance and Reinforcement Learning
Evolutionary finance and reinforcement learning provide complementary frameworks for understanding financial markets. At MorMag, this perspective informs a disciplined approach to strategy development and capital allocation, integrating quantitative tools with an understanding of complexity and adaptation.
Space Colonisation Algorithms in Quantitative Finance
Space colonisation algorithms provide a powerful conceptual framework for understanding adaptive exploration and resource allocation in complex environments. At MorMag, this perspective informs a disciplined approach to strategy development and capital allocation, integrating quantitative tools with an understanding of growth and adaptation.
Are Markets Stochastic?
Financial markets exhibit stochastic behaviour. Prices evolve in ways that are uncertain and probabilistic, reflecting the continuous arrival of new information and the interaction of diverse participants. At MorMag, this duality is central, markets are modelled as stochastic systems, but interpreted as complex, adaptive structures.
Why Black–Scholes Fails
The Black–Scholes model represents a milestone in financial theory, providing a structured approach to option pricing. At MorMag, this understanding informs a disciplined approach to derivatives analysis, integrating theoretical insight with practical awareness.
When Markets Switch Between Geometric Brownian Motion and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Processes
Financial markets exhibit behaviour consistent with multiple stochastic processes. Geometric Brownian Motion and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process represent two fundamental modes: trend and equilibrium. At MorMag, this perspective informs a disciplined approach that integrates probabilistic inference, structural understanding, and adaptability.
Stochastic Volatility Models (II)
Stochastic volatility models provide a powerful framework for representing the dynamic nature of risk in financial markets. By treating volatility as a stochastic process, they capture key features such as clustering, persistence, and asymmetry. At MorMag, this approach forms part of a broader framework for analysing markets, integrating quantitative modelling with contextual understanding.
