Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Commodity-focused Calculo Capital has grown beyond Philip Engel Carlsson’s one-person shop with the hiring of Victor Lund Klestrup Hansen as a quantitative analyst. The new hire is expanding the data-analysis and research-based capabilities powering the artificial intelligence-assisted trend-following strategy employed by Calculo Evolution Fund.

Hansen joins Calculo Capital from the quant desk at Danske Bank, where he mainly worked on the maintenance and development of trading applications and on producing various value and risk calculations across a variety of products. He graduated from Copenhagen University with a focus on mathematical models, statistics and machine learning and holds programming competencies in multiple languages such as Python, C++, C# and R.
“We look forward to working with Victor and to help him unleash his full potential in combining theoretical expertise with hands-on experience in a role where he will be able to set his footprints.”
