Our Team

Alexander Zhao

Founder & CIO

Alexander founded Almor13 during his freshman year of high school after discovering his passion for quantitative finance. With a background in competitive programming and mathematics, he saw an opportunity to apply computational methods to financial markets.

Starting with just a simple momentum strategy, Alexander has since developed Almor13 into a sophisticated quantitative fund that leverages machine learning and statistical analysis to consistently outperform market benchmarks.

"Our goal is not just to generate returns, but to demonstrate that age is not a barrier to innovation in finance. We're proving that with the right approach, even high school students can develop trading strategies that compete with professional funds."
