Our story

Our Story

For decades, we have operated on both the buy and sell sides in London. During this time, we identified a significant lack of innovation in how financial research was conducted, marked by incorrect data ingestion, basic tooling, increasing team size to solve problems instead of research technology redesign.​ Meanwhile, we observed a technological revolution enabling the development of virtually any type of customization.

​Etna Research was born in 2020 based on the vision of leveraging a modern AI research infrastructure to build customized investment solution technology primitives across asset classes at scale. We have served some of the most sophisticated and demanding institutional clients from day one and we continue to expand in all the major financial hubs.
