“An index is meant to carry information. Cap-weighting strips it out — you end up owning popularity, not knowledge.”
Two decades of rethinking how markets move through time and why prices drift back toward fair value — with published research behind the patterns. The result is 3N™: a framework that turns that work into a repeatable edge.

“If we can give every investor an intelligent, hyper-personalised portfolio, we change who investing works for.”
Through the pandemic, with a long–short fund that struggled to raise assets, the company faced a defining choice: keep serving a handful of institutions, or open the platform to the world. They pivoted — to hyperscaled, automated portfolios on a pay-for-alpha model that aligns incentives and scales globally.
The founder, in long form.
An ICOVISIONS podcast conversation with Mukul Pal, recorded April 2018 — the year AlphaBlock incorporated in Toronto: the research and the machines behind beating the market, in one sitting.
Alpha for 100 million investors.
Our mission is impact at scale: to put pay-for-alpha and hyper-personalized alpha innovation within reach of 100 million investors — and to fundamentally reshape how investment solutions are built, delivered and paid for.
We believe the future of investing is not passive versus active — but augmented, automated and agentic. And ultimately, paid only for alpha.
