A research firm built around operators who carry real risk.
Lualdi Advisors was founded in 2015 to do one thing well: turn the world's most complex data into the decisions and operational tooling serious clients need. Eleven years later, the firm runs from four offices — three U.S. (Miami, New York, Chicago) and a European base in Mallorca — with specialists across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, and Israel. SIGMA is the model and MITHRIL is the platform we ship. Discretion, audit-tightness, and the willingness to be wrong publicly when the math says we are — these are the disciplines we hire for.

Alex Lualdi
Founder & CEO
Alex Lualdi founded the firm in 2015 and leads its vision, long-term strategy, and global expansion. The firm's quantitative core — what would become SIGMA — was first built inside a discretionary commodity practice, refined over fifteen years through hedge-fund mandates and trade-association engagements. MITHRIL is the operational extension of that discipline into industries where the answer must cite its source. Alex divides time between Mallorca, Miami and the firm's Chicago research center.
