ALTONA

ALTONA™ is a quantitative research platform optimized for cross-sectional equity portfolios, long-horizon market analysis, and systematic model evaluation.

The platform is designed to work with daily equity data across a century of historical observations. It supports full US equity coverage and can be customized for other markets where suitable data is available. Its purpose is to provide a controlled research environment for studying portfolio construction, derived factors, market regimes, and the long-term behaviour of equity markets.

ALTONA™ allows researchers to incorporate derived factors, test portfolio definitions, analyse regime-dependent behaviour, and compare investment hypotheses over long historical periods. It is built around a MATLAB®-compatible workflow, making it suitable for exploratory research, model development, and reproducible quantitative analysis.
