Quantitative Depth. Domain Clarity.
Aquantec AG develops software for sophisticated institutional portfolio and risk management. Since 2009, we have been combining deep quantitative expertise, practical financial market experience, and modern software architecture.
We understand both sides: the business requirements of users as well as the technical requirements for their implementation. At our company, financial mathematicians, software architects, developers, and business analysts work hand in hand.
In doing so, we follow three principles:
Transparency, not a black box
Precision is not simply a matter of more data or computing power. The key is how financial instruments, market data, assumptions, and risks are professionally modeled and linked together.
Aquantec Ocean covers all relevant asset classes—from traditional financial instruments to structured products. Powerful quantitative methods enable detailed valuations, scenario analyses, and the efficient calculation of numerous risk sensitivities.
Transparency, not a black box
The model makes all the difference
Data, models, assumptions, and calculation methods must remain transparent and traceable. That is why Aquantec Ocean is built on a transparent data model, semantic clarity, and comprehensively documented calculation logic.
Results can be traced back from the consolidated portfolio view down to the individual position. This provides explainability for business users, supports audit and control processes, and strengthens confidence in the decisions derived from the model.
The model makes all the difference
Domain expertise shapes the architecture
Our software architecture follows the principles of Domain-Driven Design. The technical architecture follows the business domain—not the other way around.
Financial instruments, market conventions, valuation models, and risk relationships are represented in the software exactly as they function in the business world. This keeps even complex requirements manageable. New products, models, and processes can be integrated precisely and consistently.
Domain expertise shapes the architecture
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer
“A platform that simplifies communication and can respond flexibly to new requirements.”
Dr. Georg Meyer is a theoretical physicist and financial engineer with more than 25 years of experience in developing technical and quantitative components for portfolio and risk management systems.
His professional career includes twelve years at HypoVereinsbank and the UniCredit Group. As head of the Quantitative Development division, he worked with Jonathan Kelly to further develop the internal risk management system into a cross-asset derivatives platform and a front-to-back trading system.
This experience continues to shape Aquantec to this day: Software should not add to the complexity of the subject matter, but rather provide users with a precise, transparent, and flexible foundation for their work.
Co-founder
“The trick is to be complex, not complicated.”
At Aquantec, Jonathan Kelly is responsible for software architecture and the design of technical and business components. He holds a Master of Arts in Computer Science and Management Studies from the University of Cambridge.
Before founding Aquantec, he worked as a financial engineer and trader at Bayerische Vereinsbank and subsequently as a software consultant for HypoVereinsbank and UniCredit. There, his work focused, among other things, on interest rate, equity, and inflation products, as well as on translating complex business requirements into robust software systems.
His philosophy: Architecture must be able to accommodate business complexity without becoming complicated itself.
Mathematics. Technology. Practical experience.
Aquantec combines quantitative expertise with deep domain knowledge and technological excellence. Our experts work across traditional departmental boundaries and support clients from the initial problem definition through to production implementation.
Many team members are familiar with both the user and development sides. This enables us to create solutions that are mathematically rigorous and technologically robust while working effectively in practice.
In addition to developing Aquantec Ocean, we support our clients with quantitative challenges, custom models, and product enhancements, as well as integration, implementation, and ongoing production support.
Quantitative depth. Clear in practice. Precise in results.
