Sentiment Alpha

Sentiment Alpha Capital Management LLC was a New York-based investment management firm that operated as a hedge fund. Founded in 2011 by Jae Hong Kil, a former quantitative trader at Nataxis, the firm focused on quantitative trading strategies. In August 2013, the company secured $1.75 million in a Seed funding round from a single investor, Canrock Ventures.

The firm's core strategy was the Sentiment Alpha Strategy, which aimed to identify and capitalize on crowded and uncrowded trade levels in the market. This approach was designed to be uncorrelated to price and trend-based systems, positioning it as both counter-participatory and trend-anticipatory, allowing it to function in both high and low volatility markets. The firm managed the Sentiment Alpha Fund, which employed a long/short equity strategy.

Sentiment Alpha Capital Management is now considered a deadpooled company and is no longer active.
