What We Do
PDT, which stands for Process Driven Trading, was founded by Peter Muller in 1993 as a proprietary trading group within Morgan Stanley. In 2013, after establishing a 19-year track record finding inefficiencies in financial markets, the group spun out of Morgan Stanley to become an independent investment management firm, PDT Partners.
Today we are a leader in the field of quantitative finance, known for our rigorous scientific, systematic, and model-driven approach to investing, with multiple billions in assets under management.
Peter Muller, Founder and CEO, and a small group of managing partners lead around 200 scientists, engineers, and professionals in New York and London.
