About us

At Blue Coast, we operate across four integrated verticals within the quantitative trading space: Capital Raising, Recruitment, Proprietary Investments, and Data Intelligence.

We take pride in identifying and supporting exceptional quantitative trading talent. We can back emerging managers, raise capital, build out world-class teams, and deliver clarity to investors through data.

From incubation all the way to institutional capital, our model is built to accelerate the performance of teams and help them scale.
