The trading floor at SDI Partners looks nothing like the chaotic scenes from Wall Street movies. Instead, rows of supercomputers hum quietly in a London office, processing 200 quadrillion calculations per second while algorithms execute trades faster than human reflexes could ever manage. When David Rosenberg, Andrew Katz, and Amit Iyer founded this quantitative hedge fund in 2022, they weren't just starting another investment firm; they were betting that artificial intelligence could outmaneuver an entire industry still dependent on outdated manual processes and paper-heavy procedures.
Their gamble paid off spectacularly. In February 2025, Preqin featured SDI Partners' Accredited Partner Fund as one of the top-performing equity strategy hedge funds in 2024, delivering a staggering 387.18 percent return. With assets under management approaching $1 billion and flagship funds returning 338.06 percent and 831.42 percent since inception, SDI Partners has achieved something remarkable: they've proven that a small team of mathematicians and computer scientists can consistently outperform Wall Street's giants.
