The Story
The Genesis of DBX
In 2020, commodity trading veteran Alex Claude identified a critical gap in the market: while traders had access to either quantitative models OR fundamental analysis, no one was successfully combining satellite intelligence with deep market expertise at scale.
Having spent 15 years navigating commodity markets at leading trading houses, Alex understood that profitable trading requires both the precision of data and the wisdom of experience. This insight led to the founding of DBX and our revolutionary quantimental approach.
