Rate Path Uncertainty: What Our Models Signal

The Federal Reserve's latest communications have introduced renewed uncertainty into the rate path. Our macro regime classifier currently assigns a 62% probability to a "higher-for-longer" environment persisting through Q3 2026.

For equity portfolios, this regime historically favors quality and low-duration factor tilts while penalizing speculative growth. We observe similar patterns in our current factor attribution data across client portfolios.

Building an AI Advisory Stack from Day One

When we set out to build Radiant Platform, we faced a fundamental architectural choice: buy off-the-shelf analytics tools or build proprietary models in-house?

We chose a hybrid approach. Core data infrastructure runs on established cloud providers, while our factor models, regime classifiers, and RadiantAI assistant are built and maintained internally. This gives us control over methodology while avoiding the cost of reinventing commodity infrastructure.

Welcome to Radiant ML — Our Founding Letter

Today, Radiant ML Inc officially begins operations. We are a small team with a big ambition: to prove that AI-enhanced investment consulting can be delivered with the personal attention of a boutique firm and the analytical power of a quant shop.

We will be selective about the clients we take on. We would rather serve four clients exceptionally well than forty clients adequately. If that resonates with you, we invite you to reach out.

Why We Don't Charge AUM Fees

Most advisory firms charge a percentage of assets under management. We deliberately chose a retainer model instead. Here's why: AUM fees create an incentive to gather assets, not to deliver advice. Our clients pay for our thinking, not our salesmanship.

With major indices trading in a relatively narrow range, the case for systematic rebalancing strengthens. Our analytics show that tax-aware rebalancing in the current environment could reduce portfolio volatility by 8–12% without sacrificing expected return.
