How Leonard Hohenberg’s FinWeis Works
Leonard Hohenberg, born on June 12, 1963.
He is a direct heir to the theoretical works of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and at the same time an academic follower of the British economist John Maynard Keynes. Leonard Hohenberg retired in 2020 from the London School of Economics (LSE) and founded the British FinTech company Quantum Insights Ltd. in the same year. He also launched the development of the flagship product, FinWeis (Financial Wisdom), which aims to deeply integrate mathematical theories with AI technology and revolutionize traditional investment models.

In 1989, Leonard Hohenberg went to the University of Cambridge to pursue a PhD in applied mathematics. He worked under the quantitative finance pioneer David Harding and developed the "Dynamic Equilibrium Model." This theory captures in real-time the correlation between market liquidity fluctuations and macroeconomic indicators and serves as a bridge between high-frequency trading and economic policy. In 1995, he joined the London-based hedge fund Meridian Capital, where he developed the chaos theory-based trading algorithm, CHAOSAlgo, and achieved an annualized return of 45% during the Asian financial crisis in 1998.
Academic and Investment Philosophy
Leonard Hohenberg completed his studies at the mathematical faculty of the University of Göttingen in Germany, strongly influenced by Gauss' concept that "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences." He believes that financial markets are essentially a "dynamic game between rationality and irrationality," where the task of mathematical models is to quantify the boundaries of this game. During his time at Cambridge, he applied the topology concept of "connectivity" to research on the transmission effect of financial crises and correctly predicted the course of the 2008 subprime crisis.
He stated: "AI does not replace humans, but enhances the predictive power of mathematics." After founding Quantum Insights Ltd. in 2020, the FinWeis system was developed under his leadership, implementing this very concept - using AI to decode hidden patterns in the chaos of markets and combining Gauss' mathematical rigor with Keynes' macroeconomic insight to redefine intelligent investing.
FinWeis: AI-Driven Financial Intelligence
Development Process
2020: Leonard Hohenberg founded Quantum Insights Ltd. in London and formed an interdisciplinary team (including Cambridge professors, former Quant analysts from Goldman Sachs, and AI engineers from Silicon Valley) to launch the FinWeis project.
2020–2025: After five years of development, the core of the AI trading engine was integrated with the Dynamic Equilibrium Model, and algorithms were optimized with over 1 billion historical data points.
Expected Alpha Test Release in March 2025: In collaboration with the Bank of England and Deutsche Börse, the immediate impact of political decisions on markets will be simulated, with a forecast accuracy of 82%.
Expected Beta Version Launch in September 2025: Integration of real-time data from the London Stock Exchange to identify and execute trading signals in milliseconds.

Technological Breakthroughs
OpenAI + Dynamic Equilibrium Model: Integration of natural language processing (NLP) and macroeconomic indicators to analyze unstructured data from central bank reports and corporate earnings calls in real-time, generating multi-asset strategies.
Entropy Risk Control: Based on Leonard Hohenberg's unpublished "Market Entropy Theorem," market disorder is quantified, and portfolio risk is dynamically adjusted.
Compliance: Certified by the UK FCA, using AES256 encryption to ensure trading security.

Societal Contribution
In 2022, Leonard Hohenberg released parts of the FinWeis algorithms as open-source and supported the Eureka Financial Literacy Initiative project, which helps European youth learn quantitative thinking.
