Brian is the Chief Investment Officer and Head of Research at Adaptive Alpha Research. His interest in trading began during the 2008 financial crisis, when market turmoil inspired him to learn about trading, strategic design, & quantitative modeling. As an independent trader and developer he achieved success with adaptive systematic solutions that adjust to changing market conditions & evolving price behaviors. At AAR, Miller leads research into quantitative, technical, fundamental, behavioural and technological factors to develop robust strategies. His works focus on designing model frameworks & strategic concepts that aim to detach outcome dependencies by integrating & magnifying the benefits of outcome diversification on a per model/asset basis. Creatively simple underlying strategic concepts are wrapped within highly adaptive structural frameworks that aim to realize the robustness of simplicity and adaptability of complexity, while seeking to mitigate various risks of singularities.
Brian maintains a relentless commitment to innovation and constantly exploring new methods as markets & economic environments evolve. Over the years,
Brian has been a guest speaker on several market research podcasts, as well at several alternative investment & quant trading conferences, invited to discuss his unique processes of risk mitigation, value identification, & outcome diversification.
The last 10 years prior to Brian joining Tom Surman(CEO) to launch AAR, Brian worked as a institutional quantitative/product consultant for various funds, family offices, & CTAs, some of which are well known and have been at one point leaders in their respective area of focus. In these projects Brian was often tasked to design custom & exclusive client-specific quantitative solutions, designed with a purpose of seeking to improve outcome consistency, strategic/conceptual correlation & outcome diversification, and/or expansion of asset, market, or value type exposure. In recent years, Brian has focused on front loading and building out the strategic concepts & model frameworks that AAR deploys in their funds.
Brian displays an authentic passion for his craft & the nuances of strategic design, so joining a community and educating those with a shared interest in quantitative finance/design is an adventure he’s ecstatic to be a part of.
