Brevan Howard quant-platform spin-out that later built LLM agents; closed 2025

SigTech spun out of Brevan Howard's systematic group in 2019 to sell a cross-asset quant research and backtesting platform, later adding MAGIC, a set of custom LLM agents for research synthesis, diligence, DDQs and compliance checks. Clients included AllianceBernstein and GAM, and the company ceased operations in late 2025.

GAII take
Closure shows how hard repositioning from quant tooling to generative AI agents can be; former clients need replacement platforms.
