∀ Fund, ∃ Team | Team ∈ argmax(P&L)

Sourcing growth opportunities for hedge funds.

We operate on first principles. In a world of speculation, we deliver certainty. Our confidential platform applies the foundational rule of logical proof to the most critical human capital decisions.

About Modus Ponens Advisory

Let the domain be the set of all systematic funds seeking to maximize the Sharpe ratio of their human capital. Our codomain is the set of validated, high-convexity candidates - talent where the first derivative of skill is positive and the second derivative of impact is non-negative. We operate as a filter in the state space of recruitment: rejecting noise, minimizing type I and type II hiring errors, and isolating the signal - the individual whose cognitive algorithm exhibits non-correlated alpha generation against your existing team's basis vectors. Our methodology is an applied proof:

Axiom: Talent is the primary free variable in the P&L function.

Lemma: Traditional search is an NP-hard problem with local optima.

Proof: We apply a constraint optimization framework, where the objective function is your strategy's expected value and the constraints are culture, risk appetite, and intellectual topology.

Q.E.D. A placement that satisfies all boundary conditions and converges on your global optimum.

We have structured over $2bn in notional talent allocation. This is not a volume metric; it is the integral of our performance density function over time - evidence of a low-variance, high-mean outcome process. We don't fill roles. We solve for *x*, where *x* is the missing parameter in your team's outperformance equation.

Capital Introduction

The Logic Behind the Name

  • Modus Ponens (Latin: "the mode that affirms") is the bedrock of logical deduction. It's the simplest, most powerful form of proof:

    If P, then Q. P is true. Therefore, Q is true.

    This isn't just philosophy - it's our operational framework.

  • The Rule (If P, then Q):
    We work with you to define the precise, necessary conditions for success in a role. What are the non-negotiable inputs (P) that guarantee the desired outcome (Q)?

    The Premise (P is true):
    Our confidential network and verification platform exist to prove P. We don't present possibilities. We deliver verified, incontrovertible evidence that a candidate satisfies every defined condition.

    The Conclusion (Therefore, Q is true):
    The outcome is not a hopeful prediction. It's a logical deduction. When the right person meets the right conditions, success follows with mathematical certainty.

  • The market trades on signals and noise. Traditional recruitment adds to the noise. We eliminate it.

    We Replace:

    • "This candidate looks good on paper" → "This candidate has been proven to satisfy condition P"

    • "We think they'll be a fit" → "Their fit is a deductive conclusion"

    • "Let's take a chance" → "Let's execute the proven outcome"

    Our Confidential Advantage:

    Our entire platform is engineered to be the verification engine for P. While others search, we prove. Your time is spent evaluating logical conclusions, not speculative profiles.
