Redefining Speed in Finance: KixiTrade’s Quantum Leap into High-Frequency Trading

Business Plan

KixiTrade is a high-frequency quant hedge fund.
We generate revenue through performance fees on client capital and proprietary trading returns using firm capital.
The fund has $2M under management with $8M daily margin, enabled by clearinghouse partnerships.
Returns are built on a capital-efficient 1:4 leverage model and low-latency strategies in equities, with a near-term roadmap to expand into NYSE and global markets.

As we scale infrastructure, we aim to support more LPs already waiting to join—including interest from First Bank NY, the Observatory, and Prelud Capital.
For investors seeking strong monthly returns and exposure to deep tech-driven finance, KixiTrade is the gateway.

Team

We are a team of elite engineers and quants from some of the world’s most rigorous institutions:

• Juna Iafelice (CEO) – Former Ares Corporation | Data scientist and systems engineer

• Endri Zylali (CTO) – Former JP Morgan Chase | Architect of low-latency platforms

• Ersi Hoxholli – Former Finance One | Algorithmic software development

• Igli Stergu – Former Lufthansa Industry Solutions | Systems engineer

• Enkel Hoxholli – Former Intesa Sanpaolo | Risk and trading systems specialist

Our team combines deep finance expertise with high-performance computing. Every line of code and every piece of hardware is purpose-built to outperform.

Competitive Advantage

Speed. Precision. Efficiency.
KixiTrade’s proprietary stack gives us what third-party tools and APIs cannot:

• Sub-1μs latency via FPGA hardware

• AI/ML strategies for market-making and statistical arbitrage

• 70% trade profitability in live production

• Capital leverage (1:4) with daily margins from our clearinghouse

Unlike traditional quant firms, we don’t just optimize code—we design the silicon it runs on.
This allows us to lead on execution speed, adaptive strategy, and alpha generation.

Why Now

• Latency proven. Infrastructure ready.

• Live production since August 2024 with 3%+ monthly returns.

• Client demand outpaces capacity.

The system works.
The performance is live.
The only bottleneck is scale—and that’s exactly where we’re headed next.

With the rise of AI-driven strategies, hardware acceleration, and the growing dominance of HFT in equity markets, KixiTrade is perfectly timed to seize this moment.
