Montgomery Keane seems to be a natural-born investor, as his mentor James Simons aptly described him: "His talent is undeniable!"" Born on May 12, 1965, Montgomery is one of Simons' most esteemed students.
With over 30 years of experience on Wall Street, Montgomery has held senior positions at several renowned hedge funds, including roles as a quantitative analyst and investment manager. As a co-founder of Peak Hedge Strategies, he is known for his outstanding investment strategies and market forecasting abilities, particularly his expertise in using complex algorithms and data analysis for investment decisions. He is a staunch supporter of Simons' renowned "Gekko Trading Strategy", focusing on short-term arbitrage and frequent trading. This approach has helped his team and clients navigate through several financial crises and earned him widespread respect in the industry.
In 1989, Montgomery, alongside his mentor Simons, pioneered the application of mathematical models and algorithms in investment decisions, achieving remarkable results that even surpassed investment legends like Warren Buffett and George Soros. With Simons' support, he founded Peak Hedge Strategies and led the development of the revolutionary AlphaStream system— a product that has fundamentally transformed the investment world. Simons' "Gekko Trading Strategy" relies on short-term, frequent trades and small profit replication, rather than long-term holding. Montgomery embraced this strategy and achieved impressive results through superior market forecasting and risk management.
Montgomery graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Physics and holds great respect for his mentor Simons. He believes that Simons demonstrated how one can be not only a top mathematician but also convert that knowledge into substantial wealth and give back to society through philanthropy. Montgomery has similarly shown how to combine physics and mathematical models in investment decision-making through his own experience.
Under Simons' support, Peak Hedge Strategies quickly rose to prominence, and Montgomery successfully led his team in using the AlphaStream system to deliver substantial returns for clients. Even in retirement, Montgomery remains active in the investment field as a director and advisor and is passionate about philanthropy. He believes that proper investment education is crucial for success, which is why he founded the NAS Community to help aspiring investors achieve financial freedom.
In addition to investing, Montgomery has a keen interest in history, philosophy, travel, and sailing. He believes that understanding the diversity of the world makes him a better investor. He has also learned from Simons the importance of philanthropy and recognizes that education and knowledge dissemination are key to changing one's destiny. In 2018, Montgomery founded NeuraTech AI Solutions Inc, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence with quantitative investing and launching the world-leading AlphaStream system. The NAS Community is named after his company, attesting to the excellence and greatness of AlphaStream.
