About Nomera Capital
A quantitative foundation.
A practical purpose.
We develop quantitative research, investment methodologies and financial applications for individual and institutional investors, fund managers and investment professionals.
Connecting research
and technology.
Our work brings together mathematical finance, statistics, machine learning and financial expertise. We focus on market dynamics, portfolio construction, systematic investment methods and risk.
We translate research and financial data into tools that people can use. Through Fundraxis, we are developing solutions for fund intelligence, investment research and portfolio processes, alongside technology supporting capital raising and investor relationships.
Based in Portugal, our research starts with a close understanding of the Portuguese fund market and addresses broader questions about markets and capital allocation.
How we work
Evidence, method and application.
Start with the question.
Define the problem, the relevant universe and the decision the research is intended to inform.
Make the method explicit.
Connect findings with source data, dates and assumptions. Assess model behaviour and the limits of the evidence.
Build for practical use.
Turn analytical work into research publications, tools and software applications with a clear purpose.

He holds a degree in Physics Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, has completed executive education in banking and insurance, and holds a Certificate in Private Equity from Imperial College London. He is pursuing a Master’s in Risk Management and Data Science for Finance at NOVA IMS and a Master’s in Mathematical Finance jointly offered by ISCTE and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL), in Lisbon.
His interests span mathematical finance, quantitative portfolio construction, machine learning and AI, including implied-volatility surfaces, liquidity and abrupt price movements. He is interested in how volatility shocks relate to price dynamics, and how statistical and machine learning methods can help identify and study market events.
