About Fund
The Path to Innovation
in Algorithmic Trading
Main Goals of the Fund
West Garden is a private family hedge fund managing
exclusively its own capital.

Our goal is to combine advanced technologies, professional
management, and innovative approaches to ensure sustainable growth
and outstanding results.
Mission of the
West Garden Fund
West Garden is not just a fund; it is a reflection of its founder's personal philosophy

Our mission is to merge ambition, technology,
and financial responsibility to create unique solutions
We began by testing our own ideas, using personal funds and taking on personal risk, to prove the effectiveness of our approach.

Over the next three years,
we will focus on:
Testing algorithms in all
market conditions
Рerfecting our
trading strategies
Creating a sustainable mechanism
for growth and development
West Garden is a story of passion and team
achievements, grown from a personal idea
Competitive Advantage
The key strength of West Garden lies in its proprietary trading algorithm
powered by artificial intelligence, successfully applied in the stock market
over the past three years.
However, our competitive edge is our unique approach to working with
the best external managers, each an expert in their field, allowing us to cover
all markets simultaneously.
Analysing current and historical tendencies to predict market trends and control financial dynamics to gain maximum profit
Market Forecasting
Monitoring portfolio metrics, mitigating downside risk, stress testing, and scenario analysis for resilience
Risk management
Executing strategies based on market analysis conducted by mathematical models and refined with decisions
of experienced professionals
AI powered excellence
Implementing all of the financial instruments that contemporary market has to offer to ensure the safety of invested funds and minimise concentration risk
Diverse portfolios
Science + Experience
Effective
Monitoring
For effective monitoring of managers' performance, we developed a protocol based on artificial intelligence. This protocol was created by analyzing data from 1,000 track records of the best traders across various markets. By loading this data into the system, we trained the AI to understand and predict when a trader is implementing effective strategies and when they are not. This allows the system to make timely decisions: give the manager an opportunity to «cool down», temporarily suspend them from managing assets, or completely remove them from the team. Complementing this technological approach, our in-house psychologist analyzes market conditions and managers' behavior, enabling more accurate and balanced decision-making.

Our team of managers
The West Garden team consists of 21 managers, each implementing their own strategies in their respective market segments. This approach enables us to cover the entire investment landscape — from traditional stock market instruments to alternative deals and venture projects.

This allows us to effectively diversify risks and seize the most exciting opportunities, which often arise unexpectedly and require a swift response.
We take pride not only in our in-house team but also in the professional managers and partners we collaborate with on an outsourced basis. For us, they are not just external experts — they are an integral part of the West Garden ecosystem, enhancing our expertise and enabling us to remain flexible by bringing in the best teams for specific tasks when needed.

At the same time, our key managers in the fiat market represent our true know-how and one of the key reasons behind West Garden's success.
While many companies actively engage in "headhunting," we take a careful approach to our team and value confidentiality. That’s why we only disclose a portion of our lineup — those managers who already run their own businesses and are open to public visibility.

This selection features some of our key experts. The rest of the team remains behind the scenes, focusing on their work and delivering results for our clients.
