About Us

Our Story

Sipher Street was founded by two students at the London School of Economics with a shared conviction: that disciplined, research-driven investing can be learned by doing. What began as a conversation about markets grew into a fully operational student-run fund, managing a paper portfolio using real-time data and institutional-grade analysis.

Our Mission

We exist to bridge the gap between academic finance and real-world portfolio management. Our mission is to develop practical investment skills, produce high-quality equity research, and build a track record that demonstrates the power of fundamental analysis applied with conviction and discipline.

Our Approach

Sipher Street employs a long/short equity strategy across global markets. Every position begins with a rigorous investment thesis, supported by financial modelling, competitive analysis, and a clearly defined risk/reward framework. We size positions carefully and maintain strict risk limits to protect capital in all market environments.

What We Value

Intellectual Rigour

We demand evidence-based reasoning and challenge every assumption before committing capital.

Transparency

Our portfolio, performance, and research are open for scrutiny. We believe accountability drives excellence.

Continuous Learning

Markets evolve and so must we. We are committed to constant improvement in our process and thinking.

Conviction

When our research supports a thesis, we have the courage to act on it — on both the long and short side.
