Capital.
Engineered
With Precision.
We operate at the intersection of quantitative research and professional capital management — building systematic, algorithm-driven trading strategies tested to institutional standards and designed for long-term performance.
Built on Discipline.
Driven by Data.
Nexus Capital & Investments was founded by Craig Gittins and Usama Azim — two professionals whose complementary skill sets have built a rigorous, systematic approach to algorithmic trading.
Inspired by the statistical discipline of traders like Tom Hougaard, the company moved beyond retail systems to develop its own proprietary edge: a research methodology grounded in 20-year backtests, comprehensive robustness testing, and institutional-grade portfolio construction.
An extensive background in both discretionary and systematic trading — combined with deep technical expertise in algorithm development — has produced a professional-grade systematic operation capable of generating consistent performance across global markets.
Craig brings extensive IT expertise spanning pharmaceutical systems, advanced robotics implementations, and business process automation. His deep understanding of both technology and business operations drives the company's technological development — from platform architecture to the algorithmic systems powering live trading operations.
Usama is an accomplished cosmetic dentist who relocated to Dubai to expand his practice while spearheading Nexus's growth in financial markets. His entrepreneurial background and precision-focused medical discipline translate directly into the rigorous demands of algorithmic development — advancing programming capabilities alongside Craig to build robust, long-duration trading systems.
Institutional-Grade
Robustness Testing
Every algorithm we deploy has survived a multi-stage gauntlet designed to eliminate curve-fit, short-lived strategies — leaving only those built to perform for decades.
Algorithm Generation
Using StrategyQuantX professional data-mining software, we generate and test thousands of algorithmic candidates built on proven edges — including Asia range breakouts, New York Liquidity Injections, and Larry Connors' RSI2 and NR4 methods.
Robustness Testing
We employ comprehensive in-sample and out-of-sample testing — not a simple single split. Every strategy passes:
- Full range Monte Carlo simulations
- Walk-forward optimizations & matrices
- Strategy parameter permutations
- Comprehensive slippage & spread testing
Live-Market Validation
Strategies that pass all robustness tests enter our custom incubation system — a live-market validation process designed to verify real-world performance before full deployment. Unlike frequent strategy rotation, we focus on long-term gains aligned with Robert Pardo's principle that algorithms should work for decades.
Portfolio Construction
Top-performing strategies are combined using StrategyQuant's Portfolio Master software, which automatically weights exposures for optimal balance. Portfolios are configured for highest return for lowest drawdown, ensuring individual algorithms work together cohesively rather than competing.
Global Market
Diversification
We trade a diversified portfolio of global instruments — designed so that individual equity indices are naturally hedged against macro headwinds via directional trades in currencies, metals, and energy.
By combining long-biased equity indices with well-timed directional trades on JPY pairs, gold and oil, we construct a natural hedge against bear market conditions — maintaining portfolio stability across market cycles.
