Quantmatix won the Operational Excellence in Financial & Professional Services award at the Operational Excellence Awards 2025 earlier this year for its transformative application of AI in investment management.

The company leverages predictive analytics, adaptive trading models, and risk-optimisation tools to address market inefficiencies, delivering measurable improvements in trading performance. Its approach enables hedge funds and asset managers to operate more efficiently, achieving a 70%+ win rate and 25% annual returns, demonstrating tangible operational and financial impact.

Judges highlighted the entrant’s strategic vision, ambitious growth plans, and seamless integration of technology with client service. “This entrant delivered a compelling strategic vision, supported by impressive data, strong partnerships, and ambitious global expansion.”

“With €2.7 million in funding, a growing international presence, and bold scaling plans, Quantmatix’s growth potential is undeniably exciting. The seamless integration of AI science, system agility, and client service created a powerful tech-performance loop that set it apart and solidified its operational credibility,” they added.

Quantmatix’s recognition reflects a wider trend across the Operational Excellence Awards, where entrants are increasingly distinguished by verifiable impact, robust governance, and the ability to align operational performance with strategic objectives.

As the sector builds momentum, the transition from the 2025 cycle underscores the growing emphasis on measurable transformation and long-term value creation.
